This one-volume collection of his mathematical writings, dutifully edited by one of his successors as Master of Trinity College, William Whewell (1794–1866), was first published in 1860. Containing significant contributions to the field, the work consists chiefly of the lectures on mathematics, optics and geometry that Barrow gave in his position as Lucasian Professor of Mathematics between 1663 and 1669. It includes the first general statement of the fundamental theorem of calculus as well as Barrow's 'differential triangle'. Not only did he precede Isaac Newton in the Lucasian chair, but his works were also to be found in the library of Gottfried Leibniz. However, rather than considering arid questions of priority, scholars can see in these Latin texts the status of advanced mathematics just before the great revolution of Newton and Leibniz.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e Dedication of Barrow's Euclid\u003cbr\u003e Preface to the same\u003cbr\u003e Preface to Barrow's Archimedes\u003cbr\u003e Oratio praefatoria\u003cbr\u003e Lectiones mathematicae 23\u003cbr\u003e Mathematici professoris lectiones\u003cbr\u003e Lectiones opticae 8\u003cbr\u003e Lectiones geometricae 13\u003cbr\u003e Plates.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: History of mathematics [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on History of mathematics\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22History%20of%20mathematics%20%5BPBX%5D%22\"\u003ePBX\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46266134528280,"sku":"9781108059336","price":49.85,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108059336i_e9ca1c35-c321-4471-8274-1d541af58281.jpg?v=1696747436","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-mathematical-works-of-isaac-barrow-edited-for-trinity-college-paperback-9781108059336","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
