	Encyclopedia: Thomas Bradwardine
		In Tractatus de proportionibus (1328), Thomas Bradwardine extended the theory of proportions of Eudoxus to anticipate the concept of exponential growth, later developed by the Bernoulli and Euler, with compound interest as a special case.
		Bradwardine was also one of the Oxford calculators and studied mechanics with William Heytesbury, Richard Swineshead, and John Dumbleton.
		Bradwardine was a noted mathematician as well as theologian and was known as 'the profound doctor'.

		Thomas Bradwardine was one of the few figures of the 14th century who made major contributions in both physics and theology.
		Bradwardine may have been attracted to Merton because it was already well-known for astronomy, and Bradwardine's own interests at this time, though a student in the theological faculty, lay in mathematics, geometry and the physics of motion.
		Bradwardine was perhaps the greatest of a great generation at Merton, when, in the half century after 1300, Merton was arguably the most exciting place intellectually in the western world.

	Thomas of Bradwardine
		His birthplace is variously assigned to Bradwardine, Hertfield, or Cowden; but he himself states that he was born at Chichester.
		He was educated at Merton College, Oxford, and in 1325 was one of the proctors of the university who took part in the litigation between the university and Cardinal Galhardus de Mora, Archdeacon of Oxford.
		In 1348 the chapter of Canterbury elected Bradwardine to the vacant archbishopric; but the king, offended by their omission to wait for the congé d'élire, requested the pope to appoint John Ufford instead.

		We know from Bradwardine's writings that his father, at the time of writing, was living in Chichester but since this must have been written more than twenty years after Bradwardine was born, it is somewhat fanciful to assume his father had not moved.
		Bradwardine was elected Archbishop of Canterbury on 31 August 1348, but rather strangely Edward annulled the appointment.
		Bradwardine then claims that an arithmetic increase in velocity corresponds with a geometric increase in the original ratio of force to resistance.

		Pelagianism, which Bradwardine set himself to refute in certain forms it had taken in his day, brought up the important problem of human freedom and its relations with the Deity.
		Bradwardine's restrictions really eliminate genuine human freedom, and with it the whole scholastic system of ethics (304).
		Bradwardine's followers -- and they were numerous, especially in Paris where the Causa Dei was held in high repute -- were not slow to carry to its logical consequences the teaching of the "doctor profundus".

		About 1335, Bradwardine was summoned to London to assist Richard de Bury, Bishop of Durham, in collecting books for his great library.

		Thus, Alvarus Thomas was born in Lisbon and acted as Master of Arts and "regens" in the Collège de Cocqueret in Paris from, at least, 1510 to 1513.
		Thomas follows strategies typical of the Calculatory tradition, and by ingenious and complex use of the Mean Speed Theorem he manages to establish some suprising results.
		Thomas cannot address the problem in the most general terms, but he considers complex motions that correspond to a division of the time axis in a geometrical progression.

		And, though the emphasis in Bradwardine’s theology was necessarily different from Augustine’s due to development of the lie and the various approaches of the “Modern Pelagians,”; to a large degree Bradwardine was a faithful disciple of Augustine.
		Bradwardine’s influence is seen in that Rodington does hold to predestination, but in effect denies the sovereignty of God and allows that man can merit eternal life without grace.
		He apparently knew Bradwardine’s work because he did criticize it twice in his commentary on the Sententiae, and that at points where Bradwardine was in fact weak, especially on the importance of the Fall and the character of sin.

		Along with Walter Burley and Thomas Bradwardine, he formed the first academic generation of the school known as the ‘Oxford Calculators’.
		Besides the new function describing the speed of motion, which was eventually adopted and developed by Thomas Bradwardine, one of the most notable achievements of Kilvington's theory of local motion is its awareness of the different levels of abstraction involved in the problem.
		Thomas Bradwardine, however, was the most famous beneficiary of Kilvington's questions on motion.
