The following year he was elected professoi of mathematics in the university of Edinburgh on the urgent recommendation of Newton. After the death of Newton, ir 1728, his nephew, John Conduitt, applied to Maclaurin for hi~ assistance in publishing an. account of Newtons life and discoveries. This Maclaurin gladly undertook, but the death oi Conduitt put a stop to the project. After Maclaurins death his account of Newtons philosophical discoveries was published by Patrick Murdoch, and also his algebra in 1748. As an appendix to the latter appeared his De linearum geometricarum~proprieta1ibus general-ibus tractatus, a treatise of remarkable elegance.

Maclaurin, Colin Scottish mathematician who played a leading part in establishing the hegemony of Isaac Newton's calculus in the UK. Maclaurin was the first to present the correct theory for distinguishing between the maximum and minimum values of a function. Maclaurin was born in Argyllshire and studied at Glasgow. At the age of 19, he was appointed professor at the Marischal College of Aberdeen. On a visit to London in 1719 he first met Isaac Newton. Maclaurin left Aberdeen 1722 to become travelling tutor to the son of an English diplomat, returning to Scotland 1724 to become professor at Edinburgh. He won the admiration of Edinburgh society for his public lectures and demonstrations in experimental physics and astronomy. In 1745, during the Jacobite rebellion, he organized the defence of Edinburgh. Maclaurin's Treatise of Fluxions 1742 was an attempt to prove Newton's doctrine of prime and ultimate ratios and to provide a geometrical framework to support Newton's fluxional calculus. So influential was the treatise that it contributed to the ascendancy of Newtonian mathematics which cut off Britain from developments in the rest of the world.

Maclaurin, Colin Skotský matematik, který se stal následovníkem Newtona . Jako první publikoval systematické formulace Newtonových metod v díle A Treatise of Fluxions z roku 1742. V tomto díle použil k øešení rostoucích funkcí tzv. Maclaurinovy øady, které se staly inspirací pro Brooka Taylora a jeho Taylorovu øadu. Maclaurin také vynalezl nìkolik užiteèných zaøízení, zhotovil astronomickou observatoø a zlepšil mapu ostrovù pøiléhajících ke Skotsku. Pravdìpodobnì znal Cramerovo pravidlo již v roce 1729.

Colin Maclaurin From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Colin Maclaurin (February, June 14 ) was a Scottish mathematician He was born in Kilmodan, Argyllshire , and attended the University of Glasgow at age eleven (not unusual) and graduated at age fourteen. After graduation he remained at Glasgow to study divinity for a period and in , aged nineteen, he became professor of mathematics at Marischal College in the University of Aberdeen In he was appointed deputy of the mathematical professor at Edinburgh, James Gregory (nephew of the more famous James Gregory ), upon the recommendation of Isaac Newton , who actually offered to pay Maclaurin's salary, so impressed was he with his work. Eventually, Maclaurin went on to succeed Gregory. The " Maclaurin series " for many trigonometric functions had in fact been developed and published by James Gregory before Maclaurin was even born, but Maclaurin wasn't aware of this and published them in Methodus incrementorum directa et inversa In he married Married Anne Stewart, the daughter of the Solicitor General of Scotland . He actively opposed the Jacobite Rebellion of and assisted in the defence of Edinburgh but had to flee to York upon the approach of the Highlanders. He returned after the Jacobite army marched south, but the events had damaged his health, and led indirectly to his death.
