MATH 390 Third Writing Assignment (Due Monday, April 19)
Read the two
articles #72 and #78 in Calinger. These are papers by
Leibniz and Newton respectively. In
an essay of about one page describe the general contents of the two papers,
giving an example or two of the results (in modern form) contained in the
papers. Describe how the approaches of Newton
and Leibniz to the problems they are working on differ. These are not easy
papers to read but there is very familiar material in each one.
