 In the 17th century, Isaac Newton in England and Gottfried Leibniz in Germany independently developed the foundations for calculus, Carl B. Boyer, a science historian, explained in "The History of the Calculus and Its Conceptual Development

(opens in new tab)" (Dover Publications, 1959). Calculus development went through three periods: anticipation, development and rigorization. 

In the anticipation stage, mathematicians attempted to use techniques that involved infinite processes to find areas under curves or maximize certain qualities. In the development stage, Newton and Leibniz brought these techniques together through the derivative (the curve of mathematical function) and integral (the area under the curve). Though their methods were not always logically sound, mathematicians in the 18th century took on the rigorization stage and were able to justify their methods and create the final stage of calculus. Today, we define the derivative and integral in terms of limits.

In contrast to calculus, which is a type of continuous mathematics (dealing with real numbers), other mathematicians have taken a more theoretical approach. Discrete mathematics is the branch of math that deals with objects that can assume only distinct, separated value, as mathematician and computer scientist Richard Johnsonbaugh explained in "Discrete Mathematics(opens in new tab)" (Pearson, 2017). Discrete objects can be characterized by integers, rather than real numbers. Discrete mathematics is the mathematical language of computer science, as it includes the study of algorithms. Fields of discrete mathematics include combinatorics, graph theory and the theory of computer 



While complex math may not appear important to people's daily lives, it's at the heart of finance, travel, computing and more. (Image credit: Anton Belitskiy/Getty)

What is the Mathematics??

  What is Mathematics?   Mathematics  is the science and study of quality, structure, space, and change. Mathematicians seek out patterns, formulate new conjectures, and establish truth by rigorous deduction from appropriately chosen axioms and definitions. There is debate over whether mathematical objects such as numbers and points exist naturally or are human creations. The mathematician Benjamin Peirce called mathematics "the science that draws necessary conclusions". Albert Einstein, on the other hand, stated that "as far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain; and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality." Through abstraction and logical reasoning mathematics evolved from counting, calculation, measurement, and the systematic study of the shapes and motions of physical objects. Practical mathematics has been a human activity for as far back as written records exist. Rigorous arguments first appeared in Greek mathematic...

Ancient mathematical sources

  Ancient mathematical sources It is important to be aware of the character of the sources for the study of the history of mathematics. The history of Mesopotamian and Egyptian mathematics is based on the  extant  original documents written by scribes. Although in the case of Egypt these documents are few, they are all of a type and leave little doubt that Egyptian mathematics was, on the whole, elementary and profoundly practical in its orientation. For Mesopotamian mathematics, on the other hand, there are a large number of clay tablets, which reveal mathematical achievements of a much higher order than those of the Egyptians. The tablets indicate that the Mesopotamians had a great deal of remarkable mathematical knowledge, although they offer no evidence that this knowledge was organized into a deductive system. Future research may reveal more about the early development of mathematics in Mesopotamia or about its influence on Greek mathematics, but it seems likely that...
