1675 - Leibniz uses the modern notation for an integral for the first time, 1677 - Leibniz discovers the rules for differentiating products, quotients, and the function of a function. 1683 - Jacob Bernoulli discovers the number e, 1684 - Leibniz publishes his first paper on calculus,
Newton's formulated his calculus between the years 1664 to 1666, [39] [40] [41] later describing them as, "the prime of my age for invention and minded mathematics and [natural] philosophy more than at any time since." A manuscript dated May 20, 1665 showed that Newton "had already developed the calculus to the point where he could compute the ...
This is a timeline of pure and applied mathematics history.It is divided here into three stages, corresponding to stages in the development of mathematical notation: a "rhetorical" stage in which calculations are described purely by words, a "syncopated" stage in which quantities and common algebraic operations are beginning to be represented by symbolic abbreviations, and finally a "symbolic ...
The process of finding a derivative is called differentiation. There are multiple different notations for differentiation. Leibniz notation , named after Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz , is represented as the ratio of two differentials , whereas prime notation is written by adding a prime mark .

The calculus was the first achievement of modern mathematics and it is difficult to overestimate its importance. I think it defines more unequivocally than anything else the inception of modern mathematics, and the system of mathematical analysis, which is its logical development, still constitutes the greatest technical advance in exact thinking.
I think when you look at this year, the $1.9 billion or so coming due at 4.2%, give or take. Right now, if we were to go out our U.S. dollar financing, this is all on a 10-year unsecured basis.
With all this as a backdrop, our guidance for the first quarter is as follows: revenues of approximately 1.93 billion to 1.97 billion, a slightly stronger seasonality in Q1 than prior-year trends ...
