... (working separately), each invented integral calculus. For centuries, there have been heated debates on the true creator of calculus. Its been stated that Newton was the first to create the idea of calculus, but Leibniz was the first to publically propose and publish his work. This debate could go on forever. Both Leibniz and Newton contributed greatly to calculus. The following we discuss the life of Leibniz, and his contribution ... five basic rules and formulas which help determine the derivative of an equation. There is the "Power Rule- which states: if f(x) = xⁿ, where n is any r...

... used to designate a power xn of a variable x. In addition, it can be applied to various geometric aspects of a curve, such as its slope. The concept of a function is also related to the Dirichlet concept. Dirichlet regarded y = x2 - 3x + 5 as a function which is thought of as the rule that determines y for a given x of an ordered pair of the function; thus, the preceding rule determines (3, 5), ... for all x domain (f) and odd functions where f (-x) = -f (x) for all x domain (f) and is symmetric about the origin.
