The method of fluxions was originally given by Newton in order to determine the tangent to a curve. In this note, we will formulate this method by the light of some modern mathematica tools.

We explain how a computer works when zooms are made around a point on a planar curve. This modelisation leads to an easy and algorithmic method to find the tangents for the studied curve.
