Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibniz.
Gottfried Leibniz.
Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz are credited with inventing calculus independently of each other around the same time. Each used his own notation. Calculus is more commonly associated with Newton than with Leibniz.
there was no sure answer about who started calculus but it was Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz who founded calculus because of their fundamental theorem of calculus.
The difference between Leibniz calculus to Newton calculus was that Leibniz developed Newton's calculus into the calculus we all know today. For instance, diffentiation and intergration, limits, continuity, etc. This type of calculus was the pure mathematics. On the otherhand, the calculus which Newton found was that used in physics, such as speed and velocity which helped with physics greatly. Today, calculus not only used in just mathematics or physics, but used in finance, as well as exploited in engineering.
