Methodus Figurarum Lineis Rectis & Curvis Comprehensarum Quadraturas Determinandi, written in Latin by John Craig and published in 1685, is a significant historical contribution to the development of calculus. This work delves into methods for determining the quadrature of figures bounded by straight and curved lines. Craig's exploration provides valuable insights into the mathematical techniques and thought processes of the late 17th century. The book offers a detailed examination of geometric and mathematical principles relevant to the quadrature problem, appealing to historians of science and mathematics, as well as those interested in the intellectual history of the early calculus.
