I thought Liebnitz did that? Never heard Newton's name mentioned the entire time I was in grad school (in math).

That's because Newton was a scientist :-) For some mathemeticians, they don't count since they USE math to do things.

Here's a history of calc I found. Newton and Leibniz are mentioned about 2/3 of the way down. Of course, you can probably find someone to disagree with this.

Very interesting link. It's still debatable between Liebnitz and Newton, but we should be so grateful to both of them for the contribution.

As a tool, mathematics explains the universe.
