Archimedes

I did not know that Archimedes did something in the development of Calculus until I read Michio Kaku's The Physics of Impossible.

It is interesting to note that the foundations of Calculus were not built only by Leibniz and and Newton. In fact, they were built by several figures of mathematics.

I just revisited the time line of calculus and it's wonderful to the see the names of Archimedes, Zeno of Lea, Fermat, Barrow and many other mathematicians.

Anyway, here's the short story of Calculus.

Side note: I so love Erwin Schrodinger. He had a lot of mistresses (according to Michio Kaku). He he he he he. :D
