Calculus

Paper Summary:

Calculus is divided into two branches, one being differential and the other being integral. This paper provides an overview of calculus and examines the two branches in more detail. It also looks at the importance of calculus in the world today.

From the Paper:

"It must be stated that Newton's mathematics that involved 'fluxions' was one of the first forms of the area defined as 'differential calculus'. Although Newton used and preferred to use geometrical methods to algebraic equations, calculus methods had come into importance. However, calculus was not widely accepted at the time, and there were several philosophical objections to the science, but the fact remains that these objections over the years have made no difference to the application of the science."
