Roger Cotes

This bust was commissioned by [[Robert Smith (mathematician)|Robert Smith]] and sculpted posthumously by [[Peter Scheemakers]] in 1758. Roger Cotes (10 July 1682 – 5 June 1716) was an English mathematician, known for working closely with Isaac Newton by proofreading the second edition of his famous book, the ''Principia'', before publication. He also devised the quadrature formulas known as Newton–Cotes formulas, which originated from Newton's research, and made a geometric argument that can be interpreted as a logarithmic version of Euler's formula. He was the first Plumian Professor at Cambridge University from 1707 until his death. Provided by Wikipedia
