When did euler discover calculus?
Euler didn't discover calculus. He made major contributions to calculus throughout his career, but the foundations of calculus were put forth by Newton and Leibniz.
Who found calculus?
There wasn't one single person involved in the creation of calculus. Many people had their contributions. Oftentimes, however, Sir Isaac Newton is given credit for "inventing" calculus. he also coined the term.
Is there an annual maximum amount for 401k catch up contributions?
Yes, there is, but the amount is entirely dependent on the situation. It depends on the type of 401k plan you have - traditional, safe harbor, or simple - and it also fluctuates on a yearly basis. Both upper limits have increased from 2012 to 2013, and will also change based on cost-of-living adjustments. The amount cannot exceed either of the limits explained above, and it cannot exceed the "excess of your compensation over the elective deferrals that are not catch-up contributions". (I'm afraid I don't entirely understand this, so I'm directly quoting the resource guide from the IRS.)
