Moivre, Abraham de, 1667-1754 (mathematician)
Found in 16 Collections and/or Records:
Copies of Correspondence Relating to Isaac Newton After His Death, c 1880 (Original letters c 1727.)
Includes family tree (f.699r)
De Moivre's solution of a Question concerning the value of lives, c 1700-c 1750
The Macclesfield Collection principally comprises the archives of John Collins (1625-1683) and William Jones (1675-1749). As well as being mathematicians in their own right, both men corresponded with leading scientific figures of their day and so the collection includes autograph material by Isaac Newton, Edmond Halley, Henry Briggs, Roger Cotes, Henry Oldenburg and Robert Hooke.
Late addendum to Principia Book II, Proposition X, c 1715
Early drafts of the Principia and related notes; additions, corrections and revisions to the Principia. This is the 'general' category: papers relating specifically to lunar theory or containing mathematical problems are classified separately.
Late addendum to Principia Book II, Proposition X, c 1715 (A subsequent draft of Add. 3965.13: 374)
Early drafts of the Principia and related notes; additions, corrections and revisions to the Principia. This is the 'general' category: papers relating specifically to lunar theory or containing mathematical problems are classified separately.
Letter from Christopher Anderson to Robert Scott, 22 November 1673
This is an album consisting primarily of holograph letters to and from 17th and 18th century scientists, including Collins, Oughtred, Cavendish, Briggs, Fermat, Oldenburg, Halley, Boyle, Wallis and others. There are also some copy letters and other scientific papers.
Letter from George Anderson to William Jones, 28 August 1736
This is an album consisting primarily of holograph letters to and from 17th and 18th century scientists, including Collins, Oughtred, Cavendish, Briggs, Fermat, Oldenburg, Halley, Boyle, Wallis and others. There are also some copy letters and other scientific papers.
Letter from George Anderson to William Jones, 21 July 1737 (1737/8)
This is an album consisting primarily of holograph letters to and from 17th and 18th century scientists, including Collins, Oughtred, Cavendish, Briggs, Fermat, Oldenburg, Halley, Boyle, Wallis and others. There are also some copy letters and other scientific papers.
Newton's final attempt to recast Principia Book II, Proposition X taking account of Bernoulli's critique, but leaving the basic form intact, c October 1712 (Preliminary draft before Add 3965.12: 192-193.)
Early drafts of the Principia and related notes; additions, corrections and revisions to the Principia. This is the 'general' category: papers relating specifically to lunar theory or containing mathematical problems are classified separately.
Newton's preliminary work following Bernoulli's critique of Principia Book II Proposition X, together with notes on coinage, history and other subjects, September 1712 (Date refers to the section on Principia - other parts may have different dates.)
Continued on f.103r.
Newton's reworking of Principia, Book II, Proposition X, following Bernoulli's critique, Autumn 1712
There is some evidence to suggest that this is the version of the solution that Newton originally intended to transmit to Bernoulli (see M.P. ff.339-340.) It is amended in Newton's hand in the usual manner.
Newton's reworking of Principia, Book II, Proposition X, following Bernoulli's critique, Winter 1712
Very close to the final, definitive version that Newton sent to his editor, Roger Cotes, on 6 January 1712/13 (now Trinity College. R.16.38:262-265).
Newton's reworking of Principia, Book II, Proposition X, following Bernoulli's critique, September 1712
Was probably composed in the following order: f.196r, f.197v, f.197r, f.196v
Newton's reworking of Principia, Book II, Proposition X, following Bernoulli's critique, Autumn 1712
Add 2968.18: 261r lightly remodelled (and now correct!)
Newton's reworking of Principia, Book II, Proposition X, following Bernoulli's critique, September 1712 (Probably written after ff.196-197.)
Early drafts of the Principia and related notes; additions, corrections and revisions to the Principia. This is the 'general' category: papers relating specifically to lunar theory or containing mathematical problems are classified separately.
Newton's reworking of Principia, Book II, Proposition X, following Bernoulli's critique, c October 1712 (Probably written after ff.200-201.)
219v and 220v filled out from f.200v. This is the document in which Newton finally arrives at the correct solution.
Of Hyperbolic Asymptotes, c 1710-c 1749
The Macclesfield Collection principally comprises the archives of John Collins (1625-1683) and William Jones (1675-1749). As well as being mathematicians in their own right, both men corresponded with leading scientific figures of their day and so the collection includes autograph material by Isaac Newton, Edmond Halley, Henry Briggs, Roger Cotes, Henry Oldenburg and Robert Hooke.
