	Roger Cotes
		Roger Cotes accomplishments and life can be summed up as a great case of might have been.
		Cotes concluded that the Newton's law of gravitation was confirmed by observation of celestial phenomenon and did not depend on unexplained occult forces which Cartesian critics alleged.
		Cotes had discovered an important theorem on the nth roots of unity, foresaw the method of least squares, and he discovered a method for integrating rational fractions with binomial denominators.

	Cotes biography
		Roger later attended the famous St Paul's School in London, but he continued to be advised by his uncle and the two exchanged letters on mathematical topics during the time that Roget spent at school in London.
		Cotes was particularly pleased with his rectification of the logarithmic curve as he made clear in a letter to his friend William Jones in 1712.
		Cotes discovered an important theorem on the nth roots of unity, gave the continued fraction expansion of e, invented radian measure of angles, anticipated the method of least squares, published graphs of tangents and secants, and discovered a method of integrating rational fractions with binomial denominators.

	Harmonia Mensurarum
		Cotes was the newly appointed professor of astronomy at Trinity College, a position he had gained with Bentley's support.
		Cotes died at the age of 34, prompting Newton to make the famous remark that "if he had lived, we might have known something".
		Cotes, however, supplies me a ready-made title, in his "Harmonia Mensurarum," and there is no reason why I should not be fluent, at least, upon the fluents of fractional expressions.

		Roger Cotes (1682-1716) was the first Plumian Professor of Astronomy and Experimental Philosophy, at Trinity College, Cambridge.
		Cotes died young and published only one paper, the Logometria, during his lifetime; a translation of this paper is given in the Appendix.
		Dr Gowing discusses Cotes' work in some detail but has written the work in such a way that the more technical aspects of the mathematics can be omitted at first reading whilst still giving a clear idea of Cotes' achievement.

		He held a variety of college posts, and in 1716, on the death of Cotes, was elected to succeed him as Plumian Professor, a position he retained until 1760.
		Smith, like his cousin Cotes, was throughout life the 'decided partizan' of Richard Bentley, the master of Trinity, in his struggles with the fellows.
		Smith's father, John Smith, was rector of the parish of Lea; his mother, Hannah Smith, was the aunt of Roger Cotes, Plumian professor of astronomy at Cambridge.

	Newton's Philosophy (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		Although Cotes was one of Newton's ablest defenders, his role as what we might call a Newtonian spokesperson did not prevent him from challenging Newton on occasion, nor from interpreting the implications of Newton's theory of gravity in a way that may have been at odds with Newton's preferred interpretation.
		If Cotes has the ordinary, rather than the technical, meaning in mind, then gravity's cause is something that we could, as far as his discussion is concerned, hope to discover, even if we do not yet know it in 1713.
		If Cotes has the technical sense in mind, however, then gravity's cause is obviously not something that we could hope to discover, not because it is hidden or microscopic, but because it is not intelligible and therefore not the sort of thing that could be discovered.

		His urgent pressure induced the reluctant Newton to prepare the second and improved edition of the Principia, in 1713; and he himself defrayed the cost of the publication.

	Newton-Cotes formulas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In numerical analysis, the Newton-Cotes formulas, also called the Newton-Cotes rules, are a group of formulas for numerical integration (also called quadrature) based on evaluating the integrand at n+1 equally-spaced points.
		They are named after Isaac Newton and Roger Cotes.
		However, for large n a Newton-Cotes rule can sometimes suffer from catastrophic Runge's phenomena where the error diverges exponentially for large n.

		Although it was written almost three hundred years ago, Cotes’ aphorism still rings true today because it speaks of the fallibility of human nature, and the tendency of scientists and philosophers alike to confuse hypothesis with fact.
		It was not only in Newton’s day that scientists fell blindly in love with ideas and selectively ignored data that might have shaken their convictions.
		But, as you will see, even though a group as prominent and respected as NSABP was able to cast doubt on the value of this form of treatment in early colon cancer, many other equally prominent medical voices have been raised in defense of the status quo.
