The preceding three chapters were devoted to an analysis of notes in which Harriot is concerned with the motion of fall. This and the following chapters treat his notes on projectile motion. This chapter is concerned with Harriot’s graphical constructions of projectile trajectories from the early and the intermediate stages of his work on motion. The next chapter will be concerned with notes from the late stage of Harriot’s work documenting his exploration of a particular conception of projectile motion.
