The argument between Newton and Liebniz (and others) revolved around whether or not Newton was the first to invent calculus and/or if Leibniz developed his calculus independently of Newton or if he simply used different notation.
The problem was that Newton did not publish his initial work.
Isaac Newton and German mathematician Gottfried Leibniz are both credited with inventing calculus
That would be Leibniz.
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.
Calculus was independently discovered by Sir Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz in the late 17th century. Newton developed his own system of calculus called "fluxions" and "method of fluents," while Leibniz developed his system of calculus based on differentials and integrals. Both their work laid the foundation for modern calculus.
The chain rule, in calculus, is a formula. It allows one to compute the derivative of the composition of two or more functions. It was first used by the German mathematician Gottfried Leibniz.
Newton was outraged because he believed that Leibniz had stolen his ideas on calculus. Newton and Leibniz both independently developed calculus, but Newton felt that Leibniz had plagiarized his work. This led to a bitter dispute between the two mathematicians known as the "calculus priority dispute."
Gottfried Leibniz.
he published his theories about calculus in 1684
Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz was a German philosopher and mathematician. He is best known for developing the infinitesimal calculus and for his mathematical notation, which has been widely used ever since it was published.
But check the spelling of the person. Leibniz was a mathematician who developed calculus. (simultaneous with newton?)
Sir Isaac Newton. He and Leibniz both invented the calculus independently.
Isaac Newton and German mathematician Gottfried Leibniz are both credited with inventing calculus
Isaac Newton. Mush of the theoretical work was due to Gottfried Leibniz.

As a scientist, he is mainly known for the general law of gravitation, and Newton's laws of movement. As a mathematician, he basically invented calculus (so did another mathematician, Leibniz, independently of Newton).
