History of Differential Calculus Universidad Iberoamericana September 20‚ 2013 Ever since men felt the need to count‚ the history of calculus begins‚ which together with Mathematics is one of the oldest and most useful science. Since men felt that need for counting objects‚ this need led to the creation of systems that allowed them to maintain control of their properties. They initially did it with the use of fingers‚ legs‚ or stones. But as humans continued developing

Some love Mathematics‚ while some fear it; some study Mathematics‚ while some worship it. Ancient Indian Mathematicians like Aryabatta or Bhaskara worshipped Mathematics and lived for it. It was not for any material benefit‚ but was out of their devotion. All over the world‚ there were and there are people who loved Mathematics as a divine subject. Hence it is

minimum and discovered the tangent. Mathematicians Torricelli and Barrow then decided to put that tangent on a curved line‚ which can be used to calculate instantaneous rate of change. Although all of these steps are relating to calculus‚ the branch was not officially introduced to the world until the 1640’s. It has been said that it was specifically founded by two people--Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz. Despite this synonymous finding‚ both mathematicians came up with completely different

Do you imagine yourself taking advices from the one who saved us from extinction? Alan Turing was a great mathematician and he is the father of Computer Science and Digital Electronics. He also was the first scientist that thought that machines could actually learn‚ but one of the most important things about him is the fact that he helped defeating the Nazis by cracking the “Enigma code”. So‚ there are several reasons why anybody would be lucky to meet him: to know about history‚ how he

Archimedes is regarded as one of greatest mathematicians and inventors of his time. He was born in Syracuse‚ Sicily around the year 287BC. Archimedes acquired his education in Alexandria‚ Egypt‚ but spent most of his life in Sicily. When in Sicily‚ he stayed in or near Syracuse and did nothing but experiment and research. Archimedes made many contributions to mathematics. One of the more important discoveries Archimedes made was he found a way to measure the areas and volumes of objects that are

She was in charge of a group made up entirely of African American women that were mathematicians. She knew the machine computers were going to be in the future so she taught the women programming languages and other concepts to prepare them for this upcoming

Many different Astronomers and Mathematicians all took place in helping create Trigonometry‚ people from Hipparchus‚ all the way to Isaac Newton. They all contributed a little something‚ something to formulate what we know as trigonometry. The places these events took place in different place like Greece and India‚ to Sweden to Germany.

Sir Isaac Newton was an English mathematician and physicist‚ considered one of the greatest scientists in history. He made important contributions to many fields of science. His discoveries and theories laid the foundation for much of the progress in science. Newton was one of the inventors of a mathematics called calculus. He also solved the mysteries of light and optics‚ formulated the three laws of motion‚ and derived from them the law of universal gravitation. Newton

Bernoulli’s Principle complies with the principle of conservation of energy. In a steady Flow‚ at all points of the streamline of a flowing fluid is the sum of all forms of mechanical energy along a streamline. It was first derived by the Swiss Mathematician Daniel Bernoulli; the theorem states that when a fluid flows from one place to another without friction‚ its total energy (kinetic+ potential+ pressure) remains constant. Many of schools‚ academies or universities cannot provide their student

Mandelbrot was a French and American mathematician known for developing the “theory of roughness” in nature as well as fractal geometry to prove his theory. . Mandelbrot asks“Can geometry deliver what the Greek root of its name [geo-] seemed to promise—truthful measurement‚ not only of cultivated fields along the Nile River but also of untamed Earth?
