... of his scientific genius began to appear as he made a series of discoveries in the field of mathematics, optics, physics and astronomy. At that same time he laid the foundations for differential and integral calculus. It should be noted that he discovered calculus years roughly 8 years before Leibniz discovered them. He used his differentiation methods and sought to unify many separate techniques developed earlier to solve seemingly irrelevant problems like finding the area, tangents and the maxima and minima of functions. He wrote his De Methiodis et Fluxionum in 1671but was never published until 1736. Newton also discussed the converse ...
