Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 January 2009
Extract
The formulae given in Herman's Optics, pages 80, 82, 98, 111, and called Cotes's formulæ, are a little difficult to grasp, and do not lend themselves to manipulation. The notation explained below is useful as a mnemonic. I think it also renders the proofs simpler.
