What Is Calculus?
Calculus is a branch of mathematics that explores variables and how they change by looking at
them in infinitely small pieces called infinitesimals. Calculus, as it is practiced today, was
invented in the 17th century by British scientist Isaac Newton (1642 to 1726) and German
scientist Gottfried Leibnitz (1646 to 1716), who independently developed the principles of
calculus in the traditions of geometry and symbolic mathematics, respectively.

Mathematics is said to be the base of all other sciences, and that arithmetic, the science of
numbers, is referred to as the base of mathematics. Numbers consist of whole numbers
(integers) which are formed by the digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 and by combinations of
them. For example, 247—two hundred and forty seven — is a number formed by three digits.
