The Birth: Newton’s Calculus
Date: 1665-1666
Developed his calculus in his twenties.
Used as a means to support his
physics.
Published in Philosophiae Naturalis
Principia Mathematica (Prinicipia) in 1687.

The Birth: Leibniz’s Calculus
Date: 1675
Developed first by the integral then by the
differential.
is the sum

Published in the Acta Eruditorum
in 1684.

The Controversy: Beginning
The fuel to the fire:
Newton’s lack to publish his work
Leibniz’s correspondence with Newton
The first accusation of plagiarism
against Leibniz was stated by
Nicolas Fatio de Duiller.

The Controversy: Building of the Storm
In 1704, The Optiks was published.Newton made a statement that Leibniz may have copied his work.
Leibniz countered by criticizing Newton’s work.
The statement angered nearly all of England.
1708, Leibniz was accused of plagiarism by John Keill.

The Controversy: Full Blown
The charge was made in 1708.Leibniz’s copy was delayed until 1711.
The Royal Society’s interventionIn 1711, the Royal Society created a committee to look into the matter.At this time Newton was the president of the Society.

The Controversy: Ending
The Royal Society decision:Newton was the first inventor of the calculusLeibniz was not injured by Keill’s remark.This decision was published as the Commercium Epistolicum in 1712
Death of Leibniz in 1716

After the Death
Burial of LeibnizOnly one person was present.
Newton’s slanderedSecond edition of Commercium Epistolicum
England’s rejectionEngland would only teach English mathematicsNO foreign works
