A controversy about priority between Newton and Leibniz caused an unfortunate separation between English and Continental mathematicians.The Englishmen,using other geometry or Newton's method of fluxions,did comparatively little toward develoding the differential calculus and its consequences
which were carried forward aboad by James Bernouilli,Euler and others.But useful results were obtained in England by Jaylor and Maclaurin in the expansion of certain mathematical series.
