Colin Maclaurin (1698 - 1746) From `A Short Account of the History of Mathematics' (4th edition, 1908) by W. W. Rouse Ball. Colin Maclaurin , who was born in Kilmodan in Argyllshire in February 1698, and died at York on June 14; 1746, was educated at the university of Glasgow; in 1717 he was elected, at the early age of nineteen, professor of mathematics at Aberdeen; and in 1725 he was appointed the deputy of the mathematical professor at Edinburgh, and ultimately succeeded him. There was some difficulty in securing a stipend for a deputy, and Newton privately wrote offering to bear the cost so as to enable the university to secure the services of Maclaurin. Maclaurin took an active part in opposing the advance of the Young Pretender in 1745; on the approach of the Highlanders he fled to York, but the exposure in the trenches at Edinburgh and the privations he endured in his escape proved fatal to him. His chief works are his Geometria Organica , London, 1720; his De Linearum Geometricarum Proprietatibus , London, 1720; his

Colin became a student at the University of Glasgow in 1709 at the age of eleven years. This may seem an unbelievable age for someone to begin their university education, but it was not so amazing at this time as it would be today. Basically Scottish schools and universities competed for the best pupils at that time, rather than a university education being seen as following a school education as is the norm today.

Gazetteer for Scotland Help ... Add Comment Colin Maclaurin Professor Colin Maclaurin Mathematician. Born in Glendaruel (Argyll), where his father was a noted minister of Kilmodan Parish Church, who had translated the psalms into Gaelic. Maclaurin entered at the University of Glasgow the at the age of 11 and, at 15, he gave a remarkable public defence of his thesis on the power of gravity. In 1718, at the age of only 19, he was appointed Professor of Mathematics at the Marischal College, Aberdeen. Somewhat to the annoyance of the University authorities, Maclaurin seems to have left to undertake a 'grand tour' of Europe, as was the fashion of the time. In 1725, Maclaurin was appointed to a Chair of Mathematics at the University of Edinburgh, to assist the aged James Gregory - a nephew of the more famous James Gregory (1638-75). Maclaurin had been recommended by Sir Isaac Newton, who was so impressed by the young mathematician he offered to pay Maclaurin's salary. Maclaurin's is best remembered for Geometrica Organica (1720), his

Colin Maclaurin Colin Maclaurin's parents died when he was young, so he and his brother were brought up by an uncle who was a minister. He became a student at the University of Glasgow in 1709 at the age of 11. This may seem young for someone to begin their university education, but it was not so unusual at this time. His first encounter with advanced mathematics came one year after he entered university, when he found a copy of Euclid's Elements in one of his friend's rooms. This was the standard text for mathematical study at this time, but Maclaurin studied it on his own, quickly mastering the first 6 of the 13 books. At Glasgow Maclaurin came into contact with Simson who was the Professor of Mathematics there. Simson was particularly interested in the geometry of ancient Greece and his enthusiasm for the topic was to influence the young student Maclaurin. At the age of 14 Maclaurin was awarded a degree. He had to defend a thesis in a public examination, and he chose "On the power of gravity" as his topic. The thesis, which developed Newton's theories, was written by a 14 year old boy at a time when such advanced ideas would only be familiar to a small number of the leading mathematicians. After graduating, he remained at the University of Glasgow for a further year to study divinity. It had been his intention to enter the Presbyterian Church, but he decide against this. He was soon appointed professor of mathematics at Marischal College in the University of Aberdeen.

Colin Maclaurin Colin Maclaurin was born in Kilmodan, Argyllshire in February 1698, his father John Maclaurin was minister of the parish although Colin never knew him as John died when Colin was just six weeks old. Colin was the youngest of three sons, John the eldest and Daniel the second who died at a young age. Colin and his brother John spent their early years living with their mother on a small estate in Argyllshire which she had inherited. The family then moved to Dumbarton where the brothers attended school. In 1707, when Colin was nine, his mother died and they moved to live with their uncle Daniel Maclaurin, who was also a minister. When Colin was 11 he became a student at the university of Glasgow. This may sound very young to become a student but in those days Scottish schools and universities competed for the best pupils and university education did not follow school as it does today. At university Colin met Robert Simson a Professor of mathematics. Simson's area of interest was geometry of ancient Greece and his enthusiasm for this influenced the young Maclaurin. After graduating at 14 Colin remained at the university to study divinty. He had intended to enter the Presbyterian church but decided to pursue a career in mathematics instead. After leaving Glasgow in 1714, Colin returned to live with uncle in Kilfinnan. He clearly was a talented mathematician for in August 1717 he was appointed Professor of Mathematics at Marischal College, University of Aberdeen.

Branch of Science Mathematicians Nationality Scottish Maclaurin, Colin (1698-1746) Scottish mathematician who became a disciple of Newton . He published the first systematic formulation of Newton's methods in A Treatise of Fluxions (1742). In this work, he developed a method for expanding functions about the origin in terms of series now known as Maclaurin series This method was generalized to expansion about an arbitrary point by Brook Taylor . Maclaurin also invented several devices, made astronomical observations, and improved maps of the Scottish isles. Maclaurin knew Cramer's rule probably as early as 1729.
