Introduction

        The argument of who discovered calculus has been debated for over 300 years. Was it Sir Isaac Newton or was it Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz? Even though the majority of people credited Sir Isaac Newton for its discovery, little is known about the mathematician and philosopher Gottfried Leibniz. It is important to examine both legends of the mathematics world before we devote all of our belief into one person.  Over the next couple blogs we will learn the history and discoveries of each mathematician and philosopher, and who the credit should be given too. Also we will see how the discovery has impacted us today and how we use it in everyday life without even knowing it.
