Ans: Sir Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibnitz are credited with the invention of Calculus - independently.
Integral calculus was invented in the 17th century with the independent discovery of the fundamental theorem of calculus by Newton and Leibniz.
Calculus was invented or rather can be detailed as back as 1820 B.C. when the Egyptians used it in order to calculate the volume of the pyramidal frustum
Calculus was invented to solve physics problems, so the importance of studying calculus is to solve physics problems.
The biggest impact I think of: Calculus is how people invented the formulas to get the volume and surface area of spheres/cones/pyramids.
Newton "invented" "applied mathematics" and calculus.
