Abstract
‘Newton and mathematics’, not ‘Newton’s mathematics’ in any very narrow sense, is my theme in this paper. Expect no flash and bang of verbal pyrotechnics. My mood will be one of musing — even maudlin — retrospection, not hard analysis or bold historical hypothesis.
Misc
Annotated script of a lecture delivered on the evening of 8 August 1977 to the participants in the commemorative Newton symposium at Churchill College, Cambridge.
