Calculus was invented in the 17th century by Isaac newton and Gottfried Leibniz to solve problems in mathematics, science, and engineering that require a more precise understanding of change. Calculus is a branch of mathematics that studies change and is used to model and analyze complex systems, such as the motion of planets, the behavior of fluids, and the growth of populations. It can also be used to solve engineering problems, such as designing bridges and buildings.

Why Was Calculus Invented | TutorOcean Questions & Answers

Newton's work in physics led him to believe that a new mathematical framework was needed to describe the speed of a falling object and the orbit of planets. He used calculus to explain how planets move and why their orbits are in an ellipse. Newton viewed calculus as the scientific description of the generation of motion and magnitudes.

Leibniz, on the other hand, focused on the tangent problem and came to believe that calculus was a metaphysical explanation of change.
