Best Answer

Elements of basic Calculus have been in development for several millenia, beginning in ancient Egypt. Many mathematicians have worked on the development of what we now know as Calculus, but Sir Isaac newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz were the two men who pulled all the ideas together into a coherent whole. They are usually credited with the independent and nearly simultaneous invention of Calculus. Originally the idea of Calculus originated from a Greek mathematician named Euclid. He also did a lot with Geometry; we call geometry with flat things Euclidean.

Euclid first thought up Calculus but Sir Isaac newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz were the ones who pulled it all together.
