THE MATHEMATICAL WRITINGS OF DUNCAN FARQUHARSON GREGORY, M.A IBD

Sinopsis

This volume collects the mathematical writings of Duncan Farquharson Gregory (1813-1844), a significant figure in the development of mathematics at Cambridge University during the 19th century. Edited by William Walton and Robert Leslie Ellis, the collection offers insights into Gregory?s contributions to areas such as differential equations, calculus, and symbolic algebra. Gregory was instrumental in promoting analytical methods and reforming mathematical education at Cambridge. His writings reflect the transition from geometric to more abstract and symbolic approaches in mathematics. This collection preserves Gregory?s influential papers and provides valuable context for understanding the evolution of mathematical thought in Britain. Scholars and students of mathematics history will find this an essential resource, offering a detailed look at the work of a key figure in the shaping of modern mathematics.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
