Characterized by or relating to fluxion; of or pertaining to flowing or to Newton's method of analysis.
From 'fluxion' + suffix '-ary' (relating to). An alternative form to 'fluxional,' used in historical mathematical texts to describe Newton's calculus system.
In the 1700s, mathematicians divided into 'fluxionary' (Newton) and 'differential' (Leibniz) camps—the battle over calculus notation shaped modern mathematics more than any single discovery.
