Dibner Lecture: Counterfeiting Science: The Uses of Evidence in the Newton-Leibniz Priority Dispute
The 17th-century dispute between mathematicians Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz over who first invented calculus was a major intellectual controversy for decades. Rob Iliffe, professor of the history of science at the University of Oxford, discusses two little-known documents that reveal how Newton's approach to prosecuting contemporary counterfeiters as a warden of the Royal Mint was closely related to his strategy for revealing the corruption of Christianity.
