Who invented Calculus in Mathematics?

Question

Who invented Calculus in Mathematics?

Answer 1

Isaac Newton claimed to have begun working on a form of the calculus in 1666. Gottfried Leibniz began working on his variant of the calculus in 1674, and in 1684 published his first paper employing it. L'Hopital published a text on Leibniz's calculus in 1696. Meanwhile, Newton did not explain his calculus in print until 1693 (in part) and 1704 (in full). While visiting London in 1676, Leibniz was shown at least one unpublished manuscript by Newton, raising the question as to whether or not Leibniz's work was actually based upon Newton's idea. It is a question that had been the cause of a major intellectual controversy over who first discovered calculus, one that began simmering in 1699 and broke out in full force in 1711.

Answer 2

They say Newton was always reluctant to publish his papers, and that's why Leibniz was the one who first published any papers on calculus.



Newton and Leibniz actually approached calculus differently. Newton developed calculus working with derivatives, while Leibniz developed calculus using integrals.



It's generally accepted that these two intellectuals developed calculus independently. As someone stated above, Leibniz did see ideas of Newton related to calculus, and the two actually collaborated on some ideas.



The consensus is that, they probably invented calculus independently of each other.

Answer 3

Well, Newton and Leibnitz both stake claim to the fact that they invented Calculus.

fourier series was developed by fourier in the period of NApolean,laplace trasnformation were developed in the 19th century and einstein too contributed to calculus

Answer 5

Issac Newton

Answer 6

newton and leibniz are generally both given the same amount of credit, to my knowledge

Answer 7

I think most people give credit to Isaac Newton for developing the basic ideas...except the French

Answer 8

Leibniz and Newton developed it independently. Leibniz was more advanced and started earlier.

Answer 9

newton and leibniz
