... first calculus by stating the problem (finding the area of parabola) as an infinite series. The finite series was recorded in the standard Greek arithmetic notation. Considering the infinite and finite series as one data set, Archimedes stated a rational number problem by a 1/4 geometric infinite series, and calculated a finite series in the standard Greek notation. ----------------------------------------- Bhaskara: His work, the Siddhanta Shiromani, is ... , and in the years 1702-03 he developed the integration of rational functions.
