Isaac newton published a partial account of his theory of calculus in 1693 and a full account in 1704. According to his friends he had worked it out years before. The late date of publishing led to controversy at the time.
Leibniz, a German mathematician published his method for calculus in 1684 before Newton. Leibniz insisted he had discovered calculus first, Newton disputed this strongly claiming Leibniz had stolen his work. This whole dispute lead to a general dislike and distrust of German scientists by English scientists, and of English scientists by German scientists.
Most modern historians believe Newton and Leibniz discovered calculus independently.

Did Einstein invent calculus If not, who did?
No, Einstein did not invent calculus, Isaac Newton did. Liebniz did as well at around the same time and there was a major debate on who invented calculus first, but I think the more popular answer is Isaac Newton. Put Leibniz–Newton calculus controversy into wiki for an artcile about this debate.
How did isaac newton invent calculus?
Yes and no. Isaac Newton and Gottfried Liebniz independently invented differential and integral calculus. The theoretical aspect came more from Liebniz whereas Newton contributed more in terms of applications. A lot of the notation comes from Liebniz.
