The practice of calculus dates all the way back to ancient Egypt, where in about 1800 BC, and Egyptian mathematician successfully calculated the volume of a pyramidal frustum. However, the actual discovery of calculus is attributed to two men, Isaac Newton and Gottfried Willhelm von Leibniz. The English and German mathematicians are both accredited with the discovery of calculus, despite the fact that Newton discovered it 8 years prior to Gottfried. At the time, calculus was known as infinitesimal calculus due to the fact that it dealt with infinitely small but still nonzero. They used these v...
