ResumoRobert Recorde is the morning star of English mathematical literature, the first writer of note to use the English language as the vehicle of thought in arithmetic, algebra and geometry. Nor were his intellectual interests confined to mathematics; he wrote on medicine and, it is said, was physician to Edward VI and Queen Mary. He and the astrologer John Dee were among the very earliest in England to adopt the Copernican system.
