Newton Papers : Fluxions. The items in Add. 3960 were composed in different periods, from the mid 1660s [Add. 3960.12] to the early 1690s and early 1700s, when Newton planned to write a treatise on the calculus, what he termed ‘the methods of series and fluxions’.
The Method of Fluxions and Infinite Series; with Its Application to the Geometry of Curve-lines ... Translated from the Author's Latin Original Not Yet Made Publick.
Two methods for computing derivative of f(x) by the method of fluxions; 1. Algebraically; e.g., expand f(x+o) in a power series in powers of o (Maclaurin) and look for the coefficient (‘modulus’) of the term linear in o 2.
Rather a series of cases, in which the resort to history is useful to clarify mathematical concepts and procedures, can be shown. A significant example concerns differential calculus: Newton’s Methodus fluxionum et serierum infinitarum is a possible access-key to differential calculus.
This chapter explores the analytical method of fluxions, as stated in De Methodis. Newton’s method of fluxions can be divided into two parts: The direct and the inverse. Newton considered the techniques of the direct method to be perfected, as presented in his treatise De Methodis.
Leibniz. Newton’ method of “fluxions” studied how things change. Leibniz did similar work at about the same time, and contributed additionally some of the notation we use to this day. We will address two basic questions in this course. First, how can we find the slope of a line that is tangent to an arbitrary curve at a given point?

Method of Fluxions (Latin: De Methodis Serierum et Fluxionum) [1] is a mathematical treatise by Sir Isaac Newton which served as the earliest written formulation of modern calculus. The book was completed in 1671 and posthumously published in 1736.
