    to study what he did at Cambridge, this allowed him to receive a degree and then work hard, then be named famous. In the year of 1665, Newton started to begin to create a mathematical theory that gave him a lead to build on the development of the calculus, as he was the one who invented it. Following that year he had graduated and received a degree in Bachelor of Arts, Newton also had many breakthroughs in the area of optics, which was related to be Allen (1998) points out that Isaac Newton…

    When is Plagiarism not Plagiarism, Well a famous example of this is the Calculus theory and development. This interests me since it both demonstrates mathematics and the hot topic of the week Plagiarism. Both Issac Newton and Gottfreid Liebniz both lay claim to this discovery. Liebniz first discovered the theories of calculus during the 1670’s published in the 1680’s. However Newton developed his theories of calculus during the 1660’s published during the 1690’s.

    and quantified gravitation, and pioneered a revolutionary new approach to mathematics: infinitesimal calculus.” (2010) In the 17th century Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibniz independently invented calculus. In early times calculus was known as infinitesimal calculus. Calculus is “a mathematical discipline focused on limits, functions, derivatives, integrals, and infinite series.” (History of Calculus Wikipedia 2017) Newton and Leibniz created a whole new system of mathematics and it is still in…
