  • Gottfried Leibniz was the founder of Calculas. He used the signs of integration & Differentiation.

  • Great video, but you left out Newton's invention of the (Newtonian) reflecting telescope which is still the basis of the most powerful telescopes used today.

  • If Barrow provided proof for the fundamental theorem then how is Newton the inventor??
