Sir Isaac Newton
Newton created the basis for elementary differential and integral calculus during the plague years. This occurred several years prior to its independent discovery by the German mathematician Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz. He called it as the method of fluxions. He proposed that the integration of a function is the opposite procedure of its differentiation. Using differentiation as a basic operation, he developed simple analytical methods concerning issues like finding areas, lengths of curves. -
