Books in the The Mathematical Papers of Sir Isaac Newton series

This volume reproduces mathematically significant extracts from the extant manuscript record of Newton's researches during 1684-5 into the dynamical motion of bodies under the deviating action of a central force, and his subsequent struggles thereby to explain the observed motions of solar comets and of the moon.

This volume reproduces the texts of a number of important, yet relatively minor papers, many written during a period of Newton's life (1677-1684) which has been regarded as mathematically barren except for his Lucasian lectures on algebra (which appear in Volume V).

The fifth volume of this definitive edition centres around Newton's Lucasian lectures on algebra, purportedly delivered during 1673-83, and subsequently prepared for publication under the title Arithmetica Universalis many years later.

The main part of the third volume of Dr Whiteside's annotated and critical edition of all the known mathematical papers of Isaac Newton reproduces, from the original autograph, Newton's elaborate tract on infinite series and fluxions.
