Essays on the Life and Work of Newton brings together three of Augustus De Morgan's most important essays on Sir Isaac Newton, edited with notes and appendices by the mathematician and logician Philip E. B. Jourdain. First published in 1914, the volume examines Newton's life, his mathematical achievements and the famous priority dispute with Leibniz over the invention of the calculus. Combining De Morgan's incisive historical scholarship with Jourdain's editorial commentary, it remains an important contribution to the early twentieth century study of Newton and the history of mathematics.
