This breakthrough became a core concept of infinitesimal calculus, alongside differential calculus, and has shaped modern science and engineering. Integral calculus essentially deals with adding ...

Historian Amir Alexander's "Infinitesimal" arrives with the tagline, "How a Dangerous Mathematical Theory Shaped the Modern World." That a mathematical theory can be characterized as dangerous ...

Newton had to bypass that proposal to create the infinitesimal calculus. An infinite number of infinitesimals has existence, even if one of them doesn’t. Receive a weekly dose of discovery in ...

Calculus is about the infinite and the infinitesimal, and how they come together in mind-boggling ways. The beauty of these ideas is brilliantly explained in a recent book by the mathematician ...
