How did the Newton-Leibniz calculus dispute affect British mathematics?

The dispute between Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz over the invention of the calculus had a profound and detrimental impact on British mathematics, effectively isolating and impoverishing the field until the 19th century.1

The conflict, which centered on priority and the relative merits of their respective methods, caused British mathematicians to remain tethered to Newton’s geometric "method of fluxions" rather than adopting the more powerful and versatile Leibnizian notation. While Leibniz’s followers on the Continent established a productive, collaborative research program using his $d$ and $\int$ symbols, British mathematicians—including figures like Brook Taylor and Colin Maclaurin—remained largely isolated from these advancements.21

Newton’s personal involvement in the controversy, including his use of the Royal Society to assert his priority, solidified this divide. By rejecting the superior analytic methods of the Continent in favor of Newtonian tradition, the British school failed to develop a comparable research program, ultimately hindering the progress of British mathematics for over a century.321
