Extractions: Died: 29 Dec 1731 in London, England Brook Taylor added to mathematics a new branch now called the 'calculus of finite differences', invented integration by parts, and discovered the celebrated formula known as Taylor's expansion. In 1708 Taylor produced a solution to the problem of the centre of oscillation which, since it went unpublished until 1714, resulted in a priority dispute with Johann Bernoulli. Taylor's Methodus incrementorum directa et inversa (1715) added to mathematics a new branch now called the 'calculus of finite differences' and he invented integration by parts. It also contained the celebrated formula known as Taylor's expansion, the importance of which remained unrecognised until 1772 when Lagrange proclaimed it the basic principle of the differential calculus. Taylor also devised the basic principles of perspective in Linear Perspective (1715). Together with New principles of linear perspective the first general treatment of the vanishing points are given. Taylor gives an account of an experiment to discover the law of magnetic attraction (1715) and an improved method for approximating the roots of an equation by giving a new method for computing logarithms (1717).

Extractions: From `A Short Account of the History of Mathematics' (4th edition, 1908) by W. W. Rouse Ball. Brook Taylor , born at Edmonton on August 18, 1685, and died in London on December 29, 1731, was educated at St. John's College, Cambridge, and was among the most enthusiastic of Newton's admirers. From the year 1712 onwards he wrote numerous papers in the Philosophical Transactions , in which, among other things, he discussed the motion of projectiles, the centre of oscillation, and the forms taken by liquids when raised by capillarity. In 1719 he resigned the secretaryship of the Royal Society and abandoned the study of mathematics. His earliest work, and that by which he is generally known, is his Methodus Incrementorum Directa et Inversa , published in London in 1715. This contains [prop. 7] a proof of the well-known theorem by which a function of a single variable can be expanded in powers of it. He does not consider the convergency of the series, and the proof which involves numerous assumptions is not worth reproducing. The work also includes several theorems on interpolation. Taylor was the earliest writer to deal with theorems on the change of the independent variable; he was perhaps the first to realize the possibility of a calculus of operation, and just as he denotes the n th differential coefficient of y by , so he uses to represent the integral of y ; lastly, he is usually recognized as the creator of the theory of finite differences.

Biography of brook taylor (16851731) brook taylor. Born 18 Aug 1685 in Edmonton, Middlesex, England
http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Mathematicians/Taylor.html

Extractions: Brook Taylor 's father was John Taylor and his mother was Olivia Tempest. John Taylor was the son of Natheniel Taylor who was recorder of Colchester and a member representing Bedfordshire in Oliver Cromwell's Assembly, while Olivia Tempest was the daughter of Sir John Tempest. Brook was, therefore, born into a family which was on the fringes of the nobility and certainly they were fairly wealthy. Taylor was brought up in a household where his father ruled as a strict disciplinarian, yet he was a man of culture with interests in painting and music. Although John Taylor had some negative influences on his son, he also had some positive ones, particularly giving his son a love of music and painting. Brook Taylor grew up not only to be an accomplished musician and painter, but he applied his mathematical skills to both these areas later in his life. As Taylor's family were well off they could afford to have private tutors for their son and in fact this home education was all that Brook enjoyed before entering St John's College Cambridge on 3 April 1703. By this time he had a good grounding in classics and mathematics. At Cambridge Taylor became highly involved with mathematics. He graduated with an LL.B. in 1709 but by this time he had already written his first important mathematics paper (in 1708) although it would not be published until 1714. We know something of the details of Taylor thoughts on various mathematical problems from letters he exchanged with Machin and

Extractions: Taylor, Brook (16851731) Taylor was an ingenious and productive British mathematician. He attended St. John's College in Cambridge, and shortly after his graduation was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society. Taylor published his book on calculus Methodus incrementorum directa et inversa in 1715, and his book on geometry, Linear Prespective in the same year. Brook Taylor did not invent Taylor series , and Maclaurin series were not developed by Maclaurin James Gregory was working with Taylor series when Taylor was only a few years old. Gregory also published the Maclaurin series for many trigonometric functions ten years before Maclaurin was born. Taylor was not aware of Gregorys work when he published his book Methodus incrementorum directa et inversa , which contained what we now call Taylor series. Maclaurin quoted Taylors work in a calculus book he wrote in 1742. Maclaurin's book popularized series representations of functions, and although Maclaurin never claimed to have discovered them, Taylor series centered at a = later became known as Maclaurin series.

Extractions: Taylor, Brook 1685-1731, English mathematician. He originated Taylor's theorem, a formula important in differential calculus, which relates a function to its derivatives by means of a power series. This theorem was set forth in his Methodus incrementorum directa et inversa (1715), which gave the first published treatment of the calculus of finite differences. His Linear Perspective (1715) expounded the principle of vanishing points and was of value to artists. His solution to the problem of the center of oscillation led to a translation into mathematical terms of the mechanical principles governing the vibration of a string.
