| Title | Unpublished paper, 'Memoir of the binomial calculus, the Irish calculation' by John Walsh |
| Date | 11 November 1823 |
| Description | Walsh writes on the definitions of mathematical terms, focusing particularly on the definitions of 'addition' and 'demonstration'. He then presents his own theory of analysis using binomial calculus. A short note at the end of the paper indicates that this is an improvement on a previous paper, and that he had initially submitted the paper to the Institute of France, fearing opposition at the Royal Society and particularly from Dr [John] Brinkley.
Subject: Mathematics
Written by Walsh at 22 Tuckey Street in Cork [Ireland] and addressed to W T [William Thomas] Brande at 20 Grafton Street, London. |
