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.
