Notes: Edward Waring (1736-1798) was an English mathematician remembered for his work in number theory, algebra, and analysis. He wrote several works, including Miscellanea Analytica (1762) and Meditationes Algebraicae (1770). He had distributed a preliminary version of Miscellanea Analytica in 1759 to demonstrate his mathematical ability to assume the Lucasian Chair of Mathematics at Cambridge University, which he did in 1760 at the age of 23. The opening discussion concerns Newton s theory of fluxions. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers MFR0181
