The play Isaac and Amanda is among other things a love story about Isaac Newton and a woman named Amanda. It also contains material about the conflicts that Newton had with the scientist Robert Hooke and the mathematician Leibniz. The latter conflict deals with the issue of who should receive credit for the discovery of Calculus. Furthermore, it deals with that period of Newtons life when he was an official in the Mint (the equivalent in the United States of the Treasury Department) trying to solve Britains currency problems and his difficulties with the master counterfeiter Challoner and especially Challoners wife. Finally, it brings up the issue of Newtons year when he was so depressed that some people say he had a nervous breakdown. Some of the material in Isaac and Amanda is to be found in the play On the Shoulders of Giants, written by the same authors.
