Omtale

Published in 1874, this two-volume work by Isaac Todhunter (1820–84), perhaps the greatest Victorian historian of mathematics, takes an important mathematical story from Newton, through the expeditions which settled certain questions in Newton's favour, to the investigations of Laplace which opened a new era in mathematical physics.
