Publisher's Synopsis
The book ""The Claim of Leibnitz to the Invention of the Differential Calculus"" was written by Heinrich Brarens Sloman in 1860. The book discusses the controversy surrounding the discovery of the calculus and specifically focuses on the claim made by German mathematician Gottfried Wilhelm Leibnitz. The author provides a detailed account of Leibnitz's life and work, including his development of the calculus and his correspondence with other mathematicians of his time. Sloman also examines the competing claims of English mathematician Isaac Newton, who is often credited with the invention of the calculus. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the evidence and arguments put forward by both sides of the debate, and offers insights into the historical context and philosophical implications of the controversy. Overall, ""The Claim of Leibnitz to the Invention of the Differential Calculus"" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of mathematics and the development of calculus as a discipline.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
