I know it was a quick transition, but the work we're studying now basically uses modern algebraic notation (you can see this in our sources).

Regarding solution and methods.  You can solve an equation and show someone you are correct without telling them how you found it.  There are plenty of professors (then and now) not in permanent positions, and therefore whose livelihood relies on continually demonstrating their worth in those positions.  

I have a source for Wallis' curious π expression.  I won't discuss the details in class, but I'd be happy to discuss it out of class.  

"Corantos" implies current.

We will see Barrow's work in his notation.  He avoided infinitesimals because he couldn't justify them.  Newton heard Barrow's lectures before doing his work.  

We will discuss some Newton - there is more in the source for you to explore.  

Wallis is definitely not the first to work with infinity.

Seems reasonable that we're more in the direction of mathematics being done at teaching institutions rather than by individuals directly employed by the government.

There was no king in England 1649-1660, but the Glorious Revolution in 1688 led to a change of king, not the elimination of a king.  

"Open secret" - known to many, but not officially stated.

Archbishop Ussher's 4004 BCE date is commonly stated for those who assert creation.  Others are surely out there, too.

The Newton-Apple story isn't very well supported, but it's a difficult story to support.  It first appears in print about 70 years after it supposedly happened.

Long ago:  liberal arts go all the way back to Plato's academy.
