... its properties. Isaac Newton's findings encompassed many fields. They included optics, mathematics, geometry, theology, philosophy, and chemistry. In the field of optics, or the study of light, Newton discovered that the white light from the sun was not a single entity as previously believed. In actuality, it was equivalent ... from one another. Basically, that the closer the objects, the larger the force of gravity, and that the larger the mass, the larger the pull is. Also, he wrote many equations for curved graphs, which were called fluxions. His work was published only after intense...

... Leibniz used integration as a sum. He was also happy to use 'infinitesimal' dx and dy where Newton used x' and y' which were finite velocities. Of course neither Leibniz nor Newton thought in terms of functions, however, but both always thought in terms of graphs. For Newton the calculus was geometrical while Leibniz took it towards analysis. Leibniz was very conscious that finding a good notation was ... of fundamental importance and thought a lot about it. Newton, on the other hand, wrote more for himself and, as a consequence, tended to use ... whatever notation he thought of on the ...

... able to find two functions, g and h, that have the same limit L as xàa and such that f is "pinched" between g and h by means of the inequalities g (x) W f (x) W h (x). It is clear that f (x) must also approach L as xàa because the graph of f lies between the graphs of g and h. Thus, the lim xàa g (x) = lim xà h (x) = L, since g and h have the same limit as x approaches a. ... The pinching theorem has applications to continually used limits of trigonometric functions; a) lim xà0 sin x = 0; lim xà0 cos x = 1; lim xà0 sin x x = 1; lim xà0 1-cos x x = 0. If ... x,"),...
