"Draft Letter from Sir Isaac Newton to Pierre des Maizeaux." 1716. Retrieved February 2, 2021 from http://www.newtonproject.ox.ac.uk/catalogue/record/NATP00373. This letter from Newton to writer Pierre des Maizeaux was crucial in letting us understand the way the omitted letters impacted the Royal Society inquiry into the controversy. This letter contained both Leibniz’s and Newton’s arguments regarding the missing letters, and various quotes from this section were used to support our claim regarding the significance of the omitted letters. Newton, Isaac. Method of Fluxions. Henry Woodfall. 1736. pp. 1-2. This book is Newton’s famous publication that established Newtonian notation for calculus. Published in 1736, this book was released after the death of Leibniz, but it was actually finished in 1671, according to Newton. This book is a very important aspect of the calculus controversy, so images of the first two pages of this article were included on the website. Newton, Isaac. The Correspondence of Isaac Newton, Vol. 1: 1661-1675. H.W. Turnbull. Cambridge University Press. 1959. This book contains a compilation of Newton’s letters to various other mathematicians and scientists, which are important primary sources. From one letter by Newton addressed to French writer Pierre des Maizeaux, he makes his position regarding the controversy clear when he states that “Second inventors have no rights.” We included this famous quote in our project to convey the depth of the polarization that was occurring as the controversy unfolded. “Newton Papers : Newton's Waste Book.” Cambridge Digital Library. Retrieved February 2, 2021, from cudl.lib.cam.ac.uk/view/MS-ADD-04004/. This section of the Cambridge digital library contains scans of the notebook that Newton used as a child.
