Calculus was independently developed by Sir Isaac newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz in the late 17th century. Newton focused on the concepts of motion and change, formulating his ideas in terms of limits and infinitesimals, while Leibniz introduced notation that is still in use today, such as the integral sign (∫) and the derivative (d/dx). Their work laid the foundation for modern mathematics, although a dispute over priority ensued between their followers. Both contributions were crucial in advancing mathematical understanding and applications.
