Description
This fold-out page with three diagrams appears as table 2 in the mathematical notebook of William Jones. These diagrams relate to the doctrine of maximis and minimis and determining the quadrature of a curve.
William Jones amassed what was considered to be the finest mathematical library of his time, which he left to George Parker, the second Earl of Macclesfield, whom he had tutored in mathematics.
