Maclaurin like Taylor worked exclusively with the fluxional calculus.
Leibnitz's letter was read at a meeting of the Royal Society, of which Newton was then president, and Newton made to the society a statement of the course of his invention of the fluxional calculus with the dates of particular discoveries.
In neither of the letters to Oldenburg does the characteristic notation of the fluxional calculus occur, and the words "fluxion" and "fluent" occur only in anagrams of transposed letters.
It is difficult to account for the fragmentary manner of publication of the Fluxional Calculus and for the long delays which took place.
Newton gave the fluxional notation also in the tract De Quadratura curvarum (1676), and he there added to it notation for the higher differential coefficients and for indefinite integrals, as we call them.
Mental differences and potentialities in general may be due to the magnitude of the psychic fluxional or differential that exists between the conceptual and the perceptual universe.
The process of squaring the circle recognized as a geometric impossibility is significant of the fluxional nature of the universal residuum perpetually maintained between the archetypal and the manifested kosmos.
In other words, there is not only a fluxional or differential between the object and its representation, but also a differential between the approach of one mind and another in the judicial determination of notions concerning ideas.
Thus it is established that the author of the dissertation on the fluxional controversy appended to Robins's tracts, lived in friendship with some of the most distinguished parties to that quarrel.
Perhaps some one may ask: Why may not practical efficiency reside in the non-fluxional (or permanent)?
Such is the argumentation applied to the cloud (to prove that it has not a permanent but a fluxional existence).
