Conception
Calculus was invented in the 1670's,by two great math mathematicians Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibniz. -
The spark of a timeless debate
Newton has created his famous paper Principia mathematic which introduced the idea of calculus which he decided not to publish. -
Gottfried makes it official
Gottfried published his first paper on calculus in 1684 and claimed to have discovered calculus in the 1670s. Introducing it to the public for the first time. -
Gottfried strikes back
After speculation among the people of who invented calculus, people sided with newton as the originator, so Gottfried would release his paper on the dy/dx derivative , which today is highly used. -
The first block of a building
With his theory a french mathematician was the first person outside of the founders to add a sustaining theory to this young new math. -
Expansion
A Swiss mathematician Daniel Bernoulli created a rule named L'hospitals rule. L'Hospital's rule is a general method of evaluating indeterminate forms such as 0/0 or ∞/∞. Allowing math to become theoretical. -
Finite differences
An English mathematician named Brook Taylor came up with a new branch now called the 'calculus of finite differences', invented integration by parts, and discovered the celebrated formula known as Taylor's expansion. -
The creation of F(x) notation
In 1734 Leonhard Euler a Swiss mathematician came up with idea eix = cos x + isin x, in short trigonometry, a branch of this oak tree to be. -
Exponents enter the chat
French math mathematician René Descartes invented the exponential rule which would allow calculations, with scientific notation. -
Logs and Natural logs
A Scottish mathematician by the name John Napier , created the chain logarithm rule which after nearly a century created a bridge between logs and Gottfried derivatives. -
Math takes us to the stars
Dr Robert H. Goddard, an american, using calculus, calculated the trajectory if the first ever successful fueled rocket launch. -
Kids and Calculus?
Its been impossible to pinpoint which person is responsible for calculus being taught in high school, but in the early 1950's the once so new theoretical math was now a high school class. -
Orbit is achived
Sputnik 1 was launched into orbit and successfully landed, thanks to revolutions and propulsion calculated via calculus. -
A man on the moon?
The Apollo 11 mission is the most historic event in the late 1960's, using calculus and its theoretical properties, a man was put on the moon. -
Present Day
Math hand done is dying out with the calculator and computers, humans dint really place an importance on math, and slowly but surely machines are taking the math world.
