D'Alembert et les mathématiques britanniques
Copyright policy )D'Alembert et les mathématiques britanniques
When we read d’Alembert’s books, it is clear that he knows well the intellectual British world and its writings. Actually, he quotes, he leans on or he contradicts some British works. The aim of this paper is to study his different positions about these works in his own scientific production and in his articles in the Encyclopédie. The main 18th-century British author quoted by d’Alembert is Colin Maclaurin. One of his works is principally used: the Treatise of Fluxion. We study d’Alembert’s standpoints on this book.
