Pesquisas com foco em história da matemática, especialmente voltadas para a Inglaterra do século XVII, destacam as questões políticas e a fagulha inicial da revolução industrial. Nesse entorno, há outros aspectos que fizeram parte, como a valorização dos estudos sobre matemática prática. Nesse viés, o artigo objetiva conhecer o Gresham College e sua relação com a matemática prática do seculo XVII em Londres. Dessa maneira, são explorados as perspectivas as quais necessitaram que houvessem um estudo árduo sobre a matemática prática no século XVII, o trânsito de conhecimento na cidade londrina e a relação do Gresham College nesse cenário de ascenção das práticas no território inglês. Percebe-se que esse College teve influência em duas frentes em relação as matemáticas, uma voltada para o ensino e outra associada as relações sociais e intectuais de estudiosos europeus do período.
