This paper talks about Newton and Leibniz’s controversy to calculus along with how their view of calculus differs from today’s view. It also discusses the controversy of the invention of calculus and about whether or not Leibniz had stolen Newton’s methods and notions or if he came up with it himself. The article also mentions Newton and Leibniz’s opinion over the whole controversy and about today’s view of the controversy that happened between the two. It also talks about their methods in details and shows examples of what their methods do exactly and they differentiate from each other’s methods and yet how alike they are. It also indicates about how imperative the people of today think the whole controversy and Newton and Leibniz’s contributions

Then, he would plug in x+xo for x and y+yo for y, leaving him with the equation 7(y+ýo)-5(x+x’o)^2-2. He would then subtract the original equation from the changed calculation: 7(y+ýo)-5(x+x’o)^2-2-(7y-5x^2-2)=0. 7y+7ýo-5(x^2+2xx’o+x’^2o^2)-2-7y+5x^2+2=0. 7y+7ýo-5x^2-10xx’o-5x’^2o^2-2-7y+5x^2+2=0. 7ýo-10xx’o-5x’^2o^2=0. Then, Newton would divide by o, leaving: 7ý-10xx’-5x’^2o=0. He tried claiming that the terms with o were nothing compared to the others and that they can be cast out into 7ý-10xx’=0. 7ý=10xx’. Ý=10xx’/7. In the end getting ý/x’=10x/7 as the end result …show more content…
First, it had surfaced due to the timing of Newton and Leibniz’s publications. Since Newton had made his findings in about 1664-1666, his breakthroughs were not published until right about 1693. While Leibniz, had made his right after Newton, in about 1672-1676, but he didn’t publish them until about 1684, 1686, before Newton ever did. Now mind this Newton was in England while Leibniz was in Germany so they were not on the same continent. Well, with the differences between the dates of the discovery and publications had led the “mathematical community” (fitchburgstate 1), to start questioning as whether or not Liebniz had actually made the discovery or if he had plagiarized Newton’s ideas and included them with his own notation. Those who were involved started realizing that the new branch of math (calculus) was at stake so; England and Germany wanted their country to get the credit for it. After a while they ended up in court over the controversy and therefore, they looked into the
