Recenzii
"...provides a much needed reminder that mathematical ideas are transmitted through teaching and cultural influences as well as through research." Nature
"...a very valuable picture of a generally neglected mathematical community and it provides a better background for understanding the reform of the approach to the calculus in Britain in the 1810s." Mathematical Reviews
"...a clear and well-organized treatment of the development of eighteenth-century English mathematics." Joan Richards, Isis
"On the whole the author's case is well argued and the level of scholarship is high....will be of value to anyone interested in the history and philosophy of mathematics in the eighteenth century." Douglas Jesseph, Philosophy of Science
