Calculus was invented simultaneously and independently by Newton and Leibniz. Calculus was originally created to solve problems in physics, namely the tangent line problem, and at its creation, many mathematicians were worried about its methods since it seemed that one needed to divide by zero to get the desired results. It was not until the formal definition of limits came into being that these worries about calculus were allayed.
