出任皇家铸币局局长,是大科学家牛顿一生中最重要的分水岭,也引发了英国乃至世界货币发展进程中一场意义深远的改革。1693年,伦敦,三一学院数学系办公室的一张软椅中,躺着年过半百的剑桥大学首席教授艾萨克·牛顿。他手里攥着瑞士数学家丢勒寄给他的信,沮丧和绝望击中了他——结束了,他们之间,一切都结束了。24年前,他还是意气风发的青年,被天才数学家巴鲁教授视为掌
Being Secretary of the Royal Mint was the most important watershed in the life of the great scientist Newton. It also triggered a far-reaching reform in the process of currency development in Britain and the world. In 1693, in a soft chair at the department of mathematics at Trinity College in London, more than half of Isaac Newton, the chief professor at Cambridge University, lay down. He clutched the letter sent to him by the Swiss mathematician Dürer, frustrated and desperate to hit him - and ended, and between them, everything was over. Twenty-four years ago, he was still an energetic young man, regarded by genius mathematician Professor Barut
