Following on from last year, this series of lectures traces the historical development of mathematics in the thousand years from Islamic Baghdad.
The development of the calculus brought together two seemingly unrelated problems: how do things change, and how large are they? We develop the story from the early days of logarithms in Gresham College, to Newton’s work on gravitation and the calculus, and ask: Did the apple really fall on Newton’s head?
