Chartae 4. fol: de Nostra 2da Quadrandi Methodo, 1686
A tranche of workpapers in which Gregory continues to labour on adapting Newton's method of quadrature. He continues to have trouble adapting the basic series, an indefinite integral, to the definite integral defined between O and x.
One paper among these was probably intended for the Astronomiae, showing a body moving in an ellipse.
Curva Cragio exhibitur, July 1687
Gregory, probably with Pitcairne at his side, sent these curves to Craige in Cambridge, challenging him to find their quadrature. Thus the writing that is not in Gregory's hand may be Craige's.
Demonstratio probl: VII. Lect: Geom D: Barrow pag: 125, c1696
A 29-page tranche of working papers, in which for the most part Gregory appeals to Isaac Barrow as he tries to reconcile his definite with Craige's indefinite integration.
Quae de Craigii Methodo impressa dicenda sunt, 1696
Gregory finds a mistake in Craige's handling of a theorem by Barrow.
