Calculus

Newton also laid down the framework for calculus several years before Leibniz is said to have discovered it. He called it the 'method of fluxions', and it was based on his insight that the integration of a function is merely the inverse procedure to differentiating it.nnNewton produced simple analytical methods that brought together many separate techniques previously developed to solve unrelated problems. These included things such as finding areas, tangents, the lengths of curves, and their maximum and minimun.
