John Keill (1671-1721) was the first to teach pupils on the basis of the newly-published Newtonian philsophy. He was "one of the very important disciples gathered around Newton who transmitted his prinicples of philosophy to the scientific and intellectual community, thereby influencing the directions and emphases of Newtonianism ... Keill's role as a propagator of Newtonian philosophy was carried out primarily through his major work, Introductio as veram physicam (1701), based on the series of experimental lectures on Newtonian natural philosophy he had been giving at Oxford since 1694. The first such lectures ever given, their attempt to derive Newton's laws experimentally did much to influence later publications." (DSB)
