Preface 1. Isaac Newton's theory of a flattened Earth 2. The state of the problem of the Earth's shape in the 1720s: stalemate 3. The revival of geodesy in Paris (1733-1735) 4. Pierre Bouguer and the theory of homogeneous figures of equilibrium (1734) 5. Maupertuis: on the theory of the Earth's shape (1734) 6. Alexis-Claude Clairaut's first theories of the Earth's shape 7. Interlude I: integral calculus (1690-1741) 8. Interlude II: the Paris academy contest on the tides (1740) 9. Clairaut's mature theory of the Earth's shape (1741-1743): first substantial connections between the revival of mathematics in Paris and progress in mechanics there 10. Epilogue: Fontaine's and Clairaut's advances in the partial differential calculus revisited, or the virtues of interrelated developments in mathematics and science, and the fall of 'normal' science Notes to chapters Biography.
