In Mathematics. Newton laid the foundations for differential and integral calculus, several years before its independent discovery by Leibniz. The 'method of fluxions', as he termed it, was based on his crucial insight that the integration of a function is merely the inverse procedure to differentiating it.n Mathematics.

While many people believe that calculus is supposed to be a hard math course, most don't have any idea of what it is about. The good news is that if you remember your algebra and are reasonably good at it then calculus is not nearly as difficult as its reputation supposes. This article attempts to explain just what calculus is about--where it came from and why it is important. First, a little history leading up to the discovery of calculus, or its creation, depending on your philosophy. The word calculus comes from rock, and also means a stone formed in a body.
