The Oxford Calculators were a group of 14th-century thinkers, almost all associated with Merton College, Oxford; for this reason they were dubbed "The Merton School". These men took a strikingly logical and mathematical approach to philosophical problems.The key "calculators", writing in the second quarter of the 14th century, were Thomas Bradwardine, William Heytesbury, Richard Swineshead and John Dumbleton.Using the slightly earlier works of Walter Burley, Gerard of Brussels, and Nicole Oresme, these individuals expanded upon the concepts of 'latitudes' and what real world applications they could apply them to.

rdfs:comment	Die Oxford Calculators (oder Mertonian Calculators) waren eine Gruppe von Denkern im 14. Jahrhundert am Merton College und an der Universität von Oxford, die sich um eine logisch-mathematische Annäherung an philosophische Probleme bemühten. Hauptvertreter der Strömung waren Thomas Bradwardine, William Heytesbury, Richard Swineshead und John Dumbleton. Sie bauten auf frühere Arbeit von Walter Burley und Gerhard von Brüssel auf.

(fr) I Calculatores di Oxford furono un gruppo di pensatori del XIV secolo - quasi tutti iscritti al Merton College di Oxford - motivo per cui sono stati soprannominati "La Scuola di Merton". Essi adottarono uno spiccato approccio logico-matematico, applicandolo a problematiche di natura filosofica.

Foram ativos na primeira metade do século XIV, antes da Peste Negra. Esse grupo, composto por: Thomas Bradwardine, , , e , tem como principal êxito a elaboração do Teorema da velocidade média. Usando uma linguagem simplificada, este teorema estabelece que um corpo em movimento uniformemente acelerado percorre, num determinado intervalo de tempo, o mesmo espaço que seria percorrido por um corpo que se deslocasse com velocidade constante e igual à velocidade média do primeiro. No seu contexto original, a grandeza que variava não era somente a velocidade, os seus autores aplicaram o teorema em contextos muito diversificados. Mais tarde, esse teorema comporia a base fundamenta (pt) Оксфордские калькуляторы (англ. Oxford Calculators) — группа английских философов XIV века, связанных с Мертон-колледжем в Оксфорде.
