Did Newton invent calculus? Don't think so.
What ever happened to Newtonian physics, though?
Yeah, Bill Nye, the Science Guy!

What ever happened to Newtonian physics, though? It is still there, being used 99.9% of time.

Yea - the great supporter of Democrats. Clinton, Gore, Kerry, you name it. More aptly named "Bill Nye, the Liberal Guy."

Did Newton invent calculus? Don't think so. Actually, he did. At least he was first to invent it but a man by the name of Liebwitz independently derived the calculus and published it first. Newton later published his version of calculus which turned out to be more useful in physics, engineering, etc. See the following link for details:
