Abstract
THE genesis of this volume is explained in the preface. The Council of the Mathematical Association desired to commemorate the bicentenary of the death of Newton by a special number of the Mathematical Gazette. The response to the editor's appeal for contributions was generous and varied. It soon became clear that the limits of a single number would be far exceeded and that interest in the material would not be confined to members of the Association. Hence it was decided to issue it as an independent book. It has taken the form of a symposium of nineteen separate chapters. Mr. Greenstreet is indeed to be congratulated upon the distinguished names that answered his appeal.
