Carroll Astronomy & Physics Lecture Series - One of the most amazing events in the history of science was the great war over who invented calculus. This pitted two of the most eccentric and strange geniuses of all time against each other: Isaac Newton developed his theory of gravity and laid the foundations of modern physics. Gottfried Leibniz invented early calculators and pioneered binary mathematics, which led to the development of modern computers. Both of them claimed to invent calculus, and their claims set off a century-long war of words between their supporters. How did this happen? How did these great geniuses come into conflict? How did those fault lines shape the development of science over the following centuries? Join Dr. Kelly Cline to learn the strange and amazing story of these two geniuses and their war over calculus.
