Greeks and Calculus Greeks equated numbers to ratios of integers, so to them, the number line had “holes” in it. They got around this problem by using lengths, areas and volumes in addition to numbers. Zeno (450 BC): If a body moves from A to B then before it reaches B it passes through the mid- point, say B 1 of AB. Now to move to B 1 it must first reach the mid-point B 2 of AB 1. Continue this argument to see that A must move through an infinite number of distances and so cannot move.

Greeks continued… Exodus (370BC) Method of Exhaustion – calculate areas by thinking of them as an infinite collection of shapes that are easy to compute. Archimedes (225BC) Used an infinite sequence to compute the area of a segment of parabola. Also used method of exhaustion to approximate the area of a circle.

16 th and 17 th Century Contributions Kepler found area of ellipse by thinking of areas as sums of lines. Roberval thought of the area between a curve and a line as being made up of an infinite number of infinitely narrow rectangular strips. Fermat generalized the area of a parabola and hyperbola, and computed maxima and minima.

17 th Century Contributions Barrow used a method of tangents to a curve where a tangent is the limit of a line segment whose endpoints move toward each other. Barrow's differential triangle

Newton Newton wrote about fluxions in He thought of a particle tracing a curve with a horizontal velocity (x’) and a vertical velocity (y’) y’/x’ was the tangent where the curve was horizontal. He also tackled the inverse problem (antidifferentiation) and stated the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. Newton thought of variables changing with time.

Leibniz Leibniz thought of variables x and y as ranging over sequences of infinitely close values and introduced dx and dy notation as differences between successive values in these sequences. Integral calculus and the integral operator were developed by Leibniz.

Rigor Introduced into Calculus Cauchy(1821) Rigorous definition of limit in class notes for Course on Analysis: " When the values successively attributed to a particular variable approach indefinitely a fixed value so as to differ from it by as little as one wishes, this latter value is called the limit of the others. " Weierstrass introduced absolute values and epsilons and deltas in the definition we use today.
