Excerpt from The Principles of Fluxions: Designed for the Use of Students in the University
The greater part of the following Work was drawn up by the Author, when engaged in a public situation in the University, chiefly for the benefit of his own pupils. Under the hope that it may be useful to others, he has endeavoured to render it as complete as the nature of his plan appeared to admit; and he now submits it to the judgment of the public.
Should this Book fall into the hands of any who have made considerable advances in pure Mathematics, they will perhaps find little to repay the labour of perusal. Few however of those, who have entered upon mathematical studies during their residence in the University, continue the pursuit after their first degree; and far the greater part are contented with such a portion of analytical knowledge, as may suffice to illustrate the chief propositions in Newton's Principia. It is for this class of students that the following Treatise is intended: and if it be found useful by them, the object of publication is answered.
In preparing these sheets for the Press, the Author proposed to himself two rules, from which he has not intentionally deviated in a single instance.
