@nprofile…gtst Thanks! I learned a lot about her I didn’t know from that Wikipedia article.
I’m curious what this means though:
”In her Personal Recollections Somerville expressed the opinion that mathematical science was at a low ebb in Britain, due to a reverence for Newton that prevented scientists from adopting calculus. On the Continent astronomical and mechanical science had reached a high degree of perfection.”
Does it mean advancing past what Newton had done?
