There's some confusion here. The 'first woman to to receive a doctorate in any field in Germany' was Dorothea Erxleben, who was awarded the degree of MD by the University of Halle in 1754. I imagine you are thinking of Sophia Kovalevsky, who was awarded a doctorate by the University of Goettingen in 1874, having pursued most of her studies elsewhere, however. See the link below.

Why is it called calculus and what is the significance of the name in the field of mathematics?
Calculus is named after the Latin word "calculus," which means "small stone" or "pebble." The significance of the name in mathematics is that calculus involves breaking down complex problems into smaller, more manageable parts, similar to how pebbles are small components of a larger whole. This method of analysis and problem-solving has revolutionized mathematics and science, making calculus a fundamental tool in various fields of study.
What role did Descartes play in the development of calculus?
Descartes did not directly contribute to the development of calculus. Calculus was primarily developed by Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz in the late 17th century, after Descartes' time. However, Descartes did make significant contributions to the field of mathematics through his work in analytic geometry, which laid the foundation for the later development of calculus by Newton and Leibniz.
What was the significance of calculus in Descartes' contributions to mathematics and philosophy?
Calculus played a significant role in Descartes' contributions to mathematics and philosophy by providing a new method for analyzing and understanding the physical world. Descartes used calculus to develop his theories on motion and change, which laid the foundation for modern physics and the scientific method. Additionally, his use of calculus in philosophy helped him to explore the nature of reality and the existence of God.

Sir Isaac Newton calculus?
Isaac Newton's calculas, created in 1666, is a complicated math problem, or formula. There was a controversy over Newton's calculus when, in 1684, a German scientist maned Gottfried Leibniz published a formula of calculus. Newton raged, and claimed that he had originaly discovered calculus, which he had, and responded by publishing a partial calculus formula in 1693 and a full formula in 1704. Newton still claimed to have invented calculus, but Leibniz would not give up. Finally, Leibniz declared that he had still created calculus, and that his country's scientists would break ties with England's scientists, and eventually get revenge upon England and its scientists for not believing calculus's "rightful" creator. England eventually did get Leibniz'z declared "revenge" in World War 1 & World War 2, though not because Leibniz declared it, and certainly not for the same reasons. The conflict still raged between Newton and Leibniz, but the countries were no longer involved. Newton believed he would win the argument until the day he died.
Who was the first woman to receive a doctorate in any field in Germany wrote 220 math articles and many books and a paper on the foundations of calculus that won the gamble prize at Cambridge in 1915?
Grace Chisholm Young was the first woman to receive a doctorate in Germany. Along with her husband, William Young, she helped publish more than 220 math articles, books, and papers. She won the Gamble prize in 1915 for her paper on the foundations of calculus. For more information - see the related link.
Wrote a paper on the foundations of calculus?
The paper about the foundations of calculus was Dissertatio de Arte Combinatoria was written by Gottfried Leibniz in 1666.
When did euler discover calculus?
Euler didn't discover calculus. He made major contributions to calculus throughout his career, but the foundations of calculus were put forth by Newton and Leibniz.
What has the author Richard L Faber written?
Richard L. Faber has written: 'Applied calculus' -- subject(s): Calculus 'Foundations of Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometry' -- subject(s): Geometry, Geometry, Non-Euclidean
Why did the calculus teacher read only the final paragraphs of magazine articles?
The calculus teacher may have only read the final paragraphs of magazine articles because they contained the main conclusions or summaries of the articles. This approach could help save time while still gaining an understanding of the key points being made.
Did Johann Radon graduate from college?
How does a doctorate in mathematics from the University of Vienna sound? He did his dissertation (1910) on the calculus of variations. Need a link? You got it. (It's below.)
Is Pierre de fermat a man?
Yes - Fermat, a Frenchman, born in the first decade of the 17th century and died on January 12, 1665, was a mathematician who laid the foundations for early calculus.
Which is harder calculus or applied calculus?
Calculus; by a long shot.
Is elementary calculus the same as calculus?
Pre-calculus refers to concepts that need to be learned before, or as a prerequisite to studying calculus, so no. First one studies pre-calculus then elementary calculus.
Which is harder calculus 1 or differential and integral calculus?
Just about all of calculus is based on differential and integral calculus, including Calculus 1! However, Calculus 1 is more likely to cover differential calculus, with integral calculus soon after. So there really isn't a right answer for this question.
The branch of mathematics that uses letterscalled variables in place of numerals?
The first branch of mathematics that is taught that uses variables is Algebra. The foundations of algebra touch on every other math course following from trigonometry to advanced calculus.
What is a synonym for calculus?
Calculus is calculus. There isn't really another word for it.
