Calculus. Who did it, afterall?

>>8437119
archimedes

In my fanfiction, Newton and Leibniz make sweet sweet love and calculus is the resulting child.

Ramen-nude-chan

Newton stole everything he ever put his name on.

Calculus is fucking trivial

Who cares ?

>>8437119

Leibniz.

Anglos BTFO, German master race !

>>8437119
Leibniz had a more fun notation so I side with him. Also Newton was a huge dick about the whole thing but I guess that's what happens when you're an incel.

>>8437119
Newton did it first, but Leibniz did it better.

>>8437209
You must be very smart

>>8437119
I did it. I was doing calculus by accident because I played around with my calculator a lot when I was 10. Since neither of those two chucklefucks reached calculus until they were older that means they are dumber than me, and I retroactively get the title.

>>8437209
I know. Those losers Newton and Leibniz were amateurs pretty much.

>>8437209
You almost sounded smart saying "who cares"
But saying "calculus is fucking trivial"
>oh boi

Ramanujan did basically this but with no calculator or formal education.

"afterall" of what, fgt pls

did you know lagrange was scared of being bullied by euler

>>8437276
Wrong

>>8437119
They both developed similar work at around the same time, both should be credited but I'm pretty sure we use Newton's notation today.

>>8437119
>implying they couldnt both invent it independently

gtfo

>>8438230
No we use Leibniz's one. dy/dx rings any bell?

>>8437123
So much this. Furthermore, unlike those two retards, based Archimedes knew that infinitesimals were formally problematic and refused to publish it as rigorous mathematics.

wildburger pls go

yeah leibniz developed a lot of the modern notation we use, newton used the x's with dots on top like a pleb

Not only is highschool math harder than than most of the stuff I've seen in uni, as it is merely non-stimulating manipulation of terms, calling it fucking trivial is probably the most "I just passed the course on calculus" tier thing to say.

>>8438230
We use both. Leibniz's notation is dy/dt, newtons is the x with a dot on top.

That's not what I meant young tard boy

Those "trivial" things come from much more than you could think of.

You cannot define something that is integrated in YOUR society at low age as something trivial.
