History of Calculus: Started in the 17th century by Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibniz Possible that it was used as early as the Ancient Greek era. Sir Isaac Newton ( ) Gottfried Leibniz ( ) Two Fields of Calculus: Primarily deals with functions, limits, derivatives, and integrals. Split between the 2 definitions of Newton and Leibniz: 1. The first subfield is called differential calculus. It studies the behavior and rate on how different quantities change. Using the process of differentiation, the graph of a function can actually be computed, analyzed, and predicted. 2. The second subfield is called integral calculus. Integration is the reverse process of differentiation.
