THE SCIENTIFIC REVOLUTION
-
Michel Rolle
Rolle published "Rolle's Theorem" which is a specialized case of the Mean Value Theorem, guaranteed the existance of a horizontal tangent line (f'(x)=0) between points a and b given that f(a) = f(b) = 0. -
George Green
George published possibly his greatest work, entitled "An Essay on the Application of Mathematical Analysis to the Theories of Electridcity and Magnetism." In this publication, he made his first attempts to apply mathematical theory to electrical phenomena. -
Carl Gustav Jacobi
In 1829, Jacobi published his paper "Fundamenta nova theoria functions ellipticarum," translated to New Foundations of the Theory of Elliptic Functions, which made significant contributions to the field of elliptic functions. -
Guido Fubini
Worked on differential equations, analytic functions, and functions of several complex variables and taught them -
Future of Calculus
The TI-101 is developed that allows every mathematical problem to be solved. Built in step by step problem solving visuals, touch screen, internet connection and able to answer verbal questions asked.
