The Mathematical Discoveries of Newton, by H.W. Turnbull, Blackie & Son, 1945

The Mathematical Discoveries of Newton is based on two lectures delivered by H. W. Turnbull to the Edinburgh Mathematical Society and the Mathematical and Physical Society of the University of Edinburgh during the 1942 tercentenary commemorations of Sir Isaac Newton's birth. Focusing on Newton's mathematical achievements, Turnbull traces the development of ideas including the binomial theorem, fluxions, interpolation and the mathematical foundations of the Principia. This concise work offers an authoritative introduction by one of the twentieth century's leading historians of mathematics.
