Newton vs. Leibniz; The Calculus Controversy Like most discoveries, calculus was the culmination of centuries of work rather than an instant epiphany. Mathematicians all over the world contributed to its development, but the two most recognized discoverers of calculus are Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz. Although the credit is currently given to both men, there was a time when the debate over which of them truly deserved the recognition was both heated and widespread. As the renowned author of Principia (1687) as well as a host of equally esteemed published works, it appears that Newton not only went much further in exploring the applications of calculus than Leibniz did, but he also ventured down a different road. Leibniz and Newton had very different views of calculus in that Newton’s was based on limits and concrete reality, while Leibniz focused more on the infinite and the abstract (Struik, 1948). However, regardless of the divergent paths these two scholars chose to venture down, the question of who took the first step remained the primary issue of debate. Unaware that Newton was reported to have discovered similar methods, Leibniz discovered “his” calculus in Paris between 1673 and 1676 (Ball, 1908). By 1676, Leibniz realized that he was onto something “big”; he just didn’t realize that Newton was on to the same big discovery because Newton was remaining somewhat tight lipped about his breakthroughs. In fact, it was actually the delayed publication of Newton’s findings that caused the entire controversy. Leibniz published the first account of differential calculus in 1684 and then published the explanation of integral calculus in 1686 (Boyer, 1968).

Certainly this includes a discussion of techniques to find the optima, such as successive approximations or linear programming. In addition, there is quite a lot of work establishing the existence of optima and characterizing them. In many cases, optimal functions or curves can be expressed as solutions to differential equations. Common applications include seeking curves and surfaces which are minimal in some sense. However, the spaces on which the analysis are done may represent configurations of some physical system, say, so that this field also applies to optimization problems in economics or control theory for example.

29. Multivariable Calculus Examples An interactive tutorial of multivariable calculus. A lot of work with graphics. Requires the use of DPG programming to participate in the examples. http://www.dpgraph.com/MCExamples/MCExamples.html

Examples from Multivariable Calculus About this page. Here we discuss several examples that involve DPGraph extensively, and in some cases, also indispensably. The examples below are divided into two groups: The first group discusses optimization of functions of 2 or 3 variables over compact regions and manifolds; the second group shows how to set up double and triple integrals using DPGraph. Although these examples and methods do not replace analytical techniques, for 2 or 3 variables they work well beyond the reach of standard (differentiable) analysis. If you do not currently have a copy of DPGraph installed on your machine, then it is strongly recommended that you first download and install the free DPGraph Viewer . This will enable you to use the scrollbar, and to see the graphics, animations and the commands that create them when you click on the icon: wherever it appears below. To be able to modify the examples below, it is necessary to obtain the full version of DPGraph and install it on your machine. Just click here and follow the easy directions.

Algebra Applied Mathematics Calculus and Analysis Discrete Mathematics ... Interactive Demonstrations Calculus In general, "a" calculus is an abstract theory developed in a purely formal way. "The" calculus, more properly called analysis (or real analysis or, in older literature, infinitesimal analysis ), is the branch of mathematics studying the rate of change of quantities (which can be interpreted as slopes of curves) and the length, area , and volume of objects. The calculus is sometimes divided into differential and integral calculus , concerned with derivatives and integrals respectively. While ideas related to calculus had been known for some time (Archimedes' method of exhaustion was a form of calculus), it was not until the independent work of Newton and Leibniz that the modern elegant tools and ideas of calculus were developed. Even so, many years elapsed until the subject was put on a mathematically rigorous footing by mathematicians such as Weierstrass.

home books software courses ... books > Calculus This short introductory text focuses mainly on integration and differentiation of functions of a single variable, although iterated integrals are discussed. Infinitesimals are used when appropriate, and are treated more rigorously than in old books like Thompson's Calculus Made Easy , but in less detail than in Keisler's Elementary Calculus: An Approach Using Infinitesimals Numerical examples are given using the open-source computer algebra system Yacas , and Yacas is also used sometimes to cut down on the drudgery of symbolic techniques such as partial fractions. Proofs are given for all important results, but are often relegated to the back of the book, and the emphasis is on teaching the techniques of calculus rather than on abstract results. The book is designed more for self-study than for classroom use; full solutions are given for nearly all the end-of-chapter problems. download in Adobe Acrobat format buy a printed copy LaTeX source code Inf, a calculator that can handle infinite and infinitesimal numbers Readers interested in the infinitesimal approach may also want to look at two other online books: Keisler , and A Brief Introduction to Infinitesimal Calculus by Stroyan.

Share page with friends Your Name: Friend Emails: Your Email - optional: Understanding Calculus Understanding Calculus is a complete online introductory book that focuses on concepts. Integrated throughout the e-book are many engineering applications aimed at developing the student's scientific approach towards problem solving. The book has as much to do with calculus as with philosophy. My motivation in writing it was to prove to myself that I could understand a complex subject like calculus by applying simple rules of logic and reason. As Henry Ford said, " Nothing is particularly hard if you divide it into small jobs ". I have now forgotten a lot of the calculus, but what remains is that sense that anything can be understood. Too much of the world is complicated by layers of evolution. If you understand how each layer is put down then you can begin to understand the complex systems that govern our world. Charles Darwin wrote in 1859 in his On The Origin of Species " When we no longer look at an organic being as a savage looks at a ship, as at something wholly beyond his comprehension; when we regard every production of nature as one which had a history; when we contemplate every complex structure and instinct as the summing up of many contrivances, each useful to the possessor, nearly in the same as when we look at any great mechanical invention as the summing of the labour, the experience, the reason, and even the blunders of numerous workmen; when we thus view each organic being, how far more interesting, I speak from experience, will the study of natural history become!

37. World Web Math: Calculus Summary An overview of calculus ideas. Covered are derivative rules and formulas as well as some basic integration rules. http://web.mit.edu/wwmath/calculus/summary.html

Calculus Summary Calculus has two main parts: differential calculus and integral calculus. Differential calculus studies the derivative and integral calculus studies (surprise!) the integral. The derivative and integral are linked in that they are both defined via the concept of the limit: they are inverse operations of each other (a fact sometimes known as the fundamental theorem of calculus): and they are both fundamental to much of modern science as we know it. Derivatives The limit of a function f x ) as x approaches a is equal to b if for every desired closeness to b , you can find a small interval around (but not including) a that acheives that closeness when mapped by f . Limits give us a firm mathematical basis on which to examine both the infinite and the infinitesmial. They are also easy to handle algebraically: where in the last equation, c is a constant and in the first two equations, if both limits of f and g exist. One important fact to keep in mind is that doesn't depend at all on f a ) in fact
