One of the most distinguished, and certainly one of the most ardent, of the early Newtonians, Roger Cotes (1682–1716) did important work in mathematics and astronomy and edited the second edition of Newton's Principia. Dr Gowing discusses Cotes' work in detail and clearly encapsulates his achievement.
