- Sir Isaac Newton (1642-1727)Newton actually discovered calculus between 1665 and 1667 after his university closed due to an outbreak of the Plague. Newton was only 22 at the time, and he preferred not to publish his discoveries. Meanwhile, in Germany, Leibniz discovered Calculus independently and he was very open with his findings. This led to a bitter dispute between the two mathematicians later known as the "Great Sulk". Today it is well known that both men discovered calculus independantly of the other, Leibniz about 8 years after Newton. Newton is best known for his work in physics, and especially his three laws of motion."If I have made any valuable discoveries, it has been owing more to patient attention than to any other talents"- Sir Isaac Newton
- Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646-1716)Though Leibniz is credited with discovering calculus after Newton he is thought to be the true founder of modern European mathematics. Not only was he a great mathematician, he was also a philosopher, scientist, logician, diplomat and a lawyer. Leibniz is well known for introducing notations that are still used in Calculus today, such as 'dy/dx' and the integral symbol. It is even attributed to him that the '=' symbol is used throughout the world."It is rare to find learned men who are clean, do not stink, and have a sense of humour"- the Dutchess of Orleans, on Leibniz
