    The first few terms of the sin series are ()! + ()! ()! + which can be recognized as resembling the Taylor series for sin x, with (s) n standing in the place of x n. In analytic number theory it is of interest to sum

  3. Method of Fluxions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_Fluxions

    For a period of time encompassing Newton's working life, the discipline of analysis was a subject of controversy in the mathematical community. Although analytic techniques provided solutions to long-standing problems, including problems of quadrature and the finding of tangents, the proofs of these solutions were not known to be reducible to the synthetic rules of Euclidean geometry.

    Title page of Isaac Newton's Opticks. Newtonianism is a philosophical and scientific doctrine inspired by the beliefs and methods of natural philosopher Isaac Newton.While Newton's influential contributions were primarily in physics and mathematics, his broad conception of the universe as being governed by rational and understandable laws laid the foundation for many strands of Enlightenment ...

    Newtonian physics and post Newtonian [ edit ] The prevailing framework for science in the 16th and early 17th centuries was one borrowed from Ancient Greek mathematics , where geometrical shapes formed the building blocks to describe and think about space, and time was often thought as a separate entity.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newtonian_fluid

    A Newtonian fluid is a fluid in which the viscous stresses arising from its flow are at every point linearly correlated to the local strain rate — the rate of change of its deformation over time.
