Fluxations??

[edit]

I assume that the book described as 'Treatise on the doctrine of fluxations' should be '...fluxions'. The doctrine of fluxions is of course the standard term for the Newtonian system of calculus, whereas so far as I know the term 'fluxation' is meaningless. However, I have been unable to verify the title (or existence) of the work ascribed to Moore, as it does not seem to be listed in the British Library Catalogue under either title.109.149.91.131 (talk) 19:55, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
