Derivative is a complex subject of calculus. In calculus, derivative is a key term developed by both Newton and Leibniz. With function f (t), the first derivative is defined asf^ ' (t)= df/dt= lim┬(h→0)〖(f(t)-f(t-h))/h〗. There is also a second derivative known as second-order derivative. The second-order derivative is defined: f^ ' ' (t)= (d^2 f)/(dt^2 )= lim┬(h→0)〖(f^ ' (t)-f^ ' (t-h))/h〗
=lim┬(h→0)〖1/h {(f(t)-f(t-h))/h- (f(t-h)-f(t-2h))/h}〗
=lim┬(h→0)〖(f(t)-2f(t-h)+f(t-2h))/h^2 〗
(Podlubny, 1998). The general idea of derivative has been for several times as the topic has been dropped and brought up again for further research. Over the years, derivative has been defined in many algorithms and methods, such as methods for the

However, early mathematicians solved these questions with what later became known as derivative. Derivative has developed or created the ideas of extrema, tangent, and limit (Anderson, Katz, and Wilson, 2004). Derivative contributed towards the mathematical world from an early stage to the development of other rules. Derivative was mentioned early in the 1660’s to develop new methods and rules. Many of the methods known today and that have been developed over the years all derived because of the use of derivative. Derivative supports the evidence of many proofs such as extreme, tangent, and limit. Newton and Leibniz both saw derivative in a different way. Newton and Leibniz both created calculus separately, as in Newton and Leibniz were not working together for the creation of calculus. They both created or invented calculus by the development of derivative. For example, in the first step of creating calculus, Newton and Leibniz took the idea and concepts of derivative and integral. The general concepts of derivative and integral came from the methods for finding tangents, extrema, and area. The general concept of derivative and integral came from the methods of finding other solutions. Another invention they came across while inventing calculus was the notation to solve the concepts of derivative and
This will lead to an explanation of motion, the development of the calculus, and the establishment of basic laws of modern physics.
Newton’s most important work, titled Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica contained his famous laws of motion, as well as new types of maths. Newton
Einstein invents Calculus when this is invented everything seems to revolve around mathematics and Science.
His discovery of calculus led the way to more powerful methods of solving mathematical problems. Calculus is an important type of math in which today we use for advanced engineering and
Finally, during the European enlightenment, men like Fermat, Pascal, and Isaac Barrow further pursued the emerging new field developing the concept of the derivative. Barrow even offered the first proof of the fundamental theorem of calculus linking the concepts of differentiation and integration; however, it was one of Barrow’s young students, Isaac Newton who would make the next big splash in the creation of the art of calculus.
Edgar Allan Poe's career may have been a failure considering what he set out to do, but he did achieve some success and notoriety in his own lifetime. His most successful poem was, of course, "The Raven," a piece he composed to satisfy popular taste. But some of his short fiction was popular as well. As an editor and publisher, however, Poe did not quite achieve the greatness he sought. His legacy grew only after his death, thanks to his literary executor R. W. Griswold, who "won more permanent attention for him after his death by exaggerating his neurotic debility and inherited dipsomania to make him an almost Satanic figure" (Bradbury 206). This paper will examine Poe's poetic and short story successes and failures, and show how he was not quite the "Satanic figure" that the reading public preferred to imagine him to be.
Guns are one of the first things that people turn to, but what they don't know is that it eventually backfires and changes their future. For example: when Davy shoots Finch and Baska the first thing he turns to is a gun, not once does he think about talking to them about what's going through their heads,instead he shoots then and will eventually end up in jail for his actions. Guns are also a symbol of peace making.He shot them because the Land family was a nice calm family until Finch and Baska can and stirred everything up, so Davy shot them so PEACE could come once again.
Newton was the Englishmen who formulated the modern laws of motion and mechanics. It remained unchallenged until the twentieth century. The core of his thinking was the concept of the universe. He declared that all bodies whatsoever are endowed with the principle of mutual gravitation. He was the grand unifying idea of early modern science. (Ways of the World, 557)
It is being used in page 22, “Rate, Graph, Slopes, and Equations” Quadratic rate of change comes from the parabola in the graph or the table. We would have to find the rate of change on each point because it won't be constant. y=ax^2+bx+c is the quadratic equation that we can find with the quadratic rate of changes. It’s being used in page 32, “To the Rescue.” Instantaneous rate of change is at a particular instant time at a point of the graph. The derivative is a way to look at by the meaning of instantaneous equal to the instantaneous rate of change. It would help you measure the instant time rather than the time on the table. It’s being used in page 34, “The Instant of Impact.” The derivative approximation is the slope of the line that is tangent to the curve at (a,b). It is also the instantaneous rate at which the y-value of function is changing as the x-value increases through
The most challenging part of calculus was not the derivatives, the volumes of cylindrical shells, or the Taylor series, it was the class. It was sitting in class with Richard Wang, Nicholas Chan, and Neville Taraporevala. They were all great guys, but over the course of that first quarter, I let myself question whether I was the odd one out.
In Europe, the second half of the 17th century was a time of major innovation. Calculus provided a new opportunity in mathematical physics to solve long-standing problems. Several mathematicians contributed to these breakthroughs, notably John Wallis and Isaac Barrow. James Gregory proved a special case of the second fundamental theorem of calculus in AD 1668.
Sir Isaac Newton once said, “We build too many walls and not enough bridges.” Aside from his countless contributions to the worlds of math and science, this may be his most important quote because it is what he based his life on—building bridges of knowledge. Throughout his life he was devoted to expanding his and others knowledge past previously known realms. Often regarded of the father of calculus, Newton contributed many notable ideas and functions to the world through his creation of calculus and the various divisions of calculus. Namely, Newton built upon the works of great mathematicians before him through their use of geometry, arithmetic and algebra to create a much more complex field that could explain many more processes in
its origination. Aristotle’s contributions to this field are most prominent, he theorized three proofs on
From the period of 1145AD – the late 16th century, many mathematicians developed on algebraic concepts. However, it was not until the 1680’s that the most remarkable discoveries were made using algebra. Sir Isaac Newton was a very famous mathematician, English physicist, astronomer, philosopher, and alchemist. During his period of study, he used algebra to describe universal gravitation, develop the laws of motion, found orbits of the planets to be elliptical, discovered that light was made of particles, discovered the rate of cooling objects, and the binomial theorem. His most important works were the development of calculus. However, Newton did not work alone on creating the
Although Euclid (or the school) may have not been first proved by him, (in fact much of his work may have been based upon earlier writings,) he did manage to insert assumptions and definitions of his own to strengthen the various postulates into the form we know today.
