http://www.southwestern.edu/~sawyerc/cal1/history_of_calculus.htm

Extractions: This originally came from http://www.mnsfld.edu/~rwalker/Calculus.html. "The Calculus" is a phrase we use to denote that branch of mathematics which studies properties of functions ("curves") which are associated with the limit process (continuity, differentiation, integration). Calculus is the introductory level of a more general branch of mathematics which is called "analysis". Analysis deals generally with infinite processes and includes such areas as real analysis, complex analysis, and differential equations. Kline calls the calculus one of the two greatest creations in the history of mathematics. Before the Seventeenth Century Calculus was a product of the 17th century, from the heart of the period known as The Scientific Revolution. With hindsight we can identify earlier achievements as anticipations of the calculus. Most of these have to do with integral calculus. The only early anticipation of differential calculus was Archimedes' method of finding the tangent to his spiral, which seems to be the only tangency problem from antiquity other than the comparatively easy one of finding the tangent to a circle. It is one of the curiosities of mathematics that historically integration precedes differentiation but that in modern courses in calculus this is reversed. Among the foreshadowings of integration are Zeno's Paradoxes (5th century BC), which discuss the possibility of infinitely small subdivisions of time and space. Of greatest importance is Eudoxus' Method of Exhaustion (4th century BC) which was applied with great ingenuity by Archimedes (3rd century BC) to find the area of a parabolic segment and the surface area and volume of a sphere. It is easy to see that the Method of Exhaustion is an early, geometric form of integration. Some writers identify Eudoxus as the inventor of integral calculus. Also important is Archimedes' "Method", discovered only recently (1906), in which he used the concept of elements of a figure (lines made up of points, areas made up of lines, solids made up of planes) to discover important results. It is possible that the calculus might have been discovered earlier if this work of Archimedes had been more widely known.

Lists of integrals Calculus is a central branch of mathematics , developed from algebra and geometry , and built on two major complementary ideas. One concept is differential calculus . It studies rates of change, which are usually illustrated by the slope of a line. Differential calculus is based on the problem of finding the instantaneous rate of change of one quantity relative to another. Examples of typical differential calculus problems are finding the following quantities: The other key concept is integral calculus . It studies the accumulation of quantities, such as areas under a curve , linear distance traveled, or

Extractions: Recommended Learning Resources It is expected that students will understand that calculus was developed to help model dynamic situations. It is expected that students will: describe the two main branches of calculus: understand the limit process and that calculus centers around this concept Students will quickly come to realize that calculus is very different from the mathematics they have previously studied. Of greatest importance is an understanding that calculus is concerned with change and motion. It is a mathematics of change that enables scientists, engineers, economists, and many others to model real-life, dynamic situations. The concepts of average and instantaneous velocity are a good place to start. These concepts could be related to the motion of a car. Ask students if the displacement of the car is given by

Extractions: Recommended Learning Resources It is expected that students will understand the historical background and problems that lead to the development of calculus. It is expected that students will: Students gain a better understanding and appreciation for this field of mathematics by studying the lives of principal mathematicians credited for the invention of calculus, including the period in which they lived and the significant mathematical problems they were attempting to solve. Conduct a brief initial overview of the historical development of calculus, then deal with specific historical developments when addressing related topics (e.g., the contributions of Fermat and Descares to solving the tangent line problem can be covered when dealing with functions, graphs, and limits).
