    It should be corrected that at 4:30, it was not the first time someone integrated. Bonaventura Cavalieri had been integrated specific functions many years before Newton, and John Wallis in the generation before Newton had expanded the range of functions that integrals could be applied to. Newton (and Leibniz) were the first to join differentiation and integration together in a coherent comprehensive theory.

    Leibniz invented the integral symbol : ∫ and also made calculus much "user friendly" than Newton's geometrical approach. He also was more interested in the mathematical side of it rather than Newton who came to it via physics. Anyway, both of them invented/discovered calculus at the same time via different ways.

    Wiki: "The calculus controversy (German: Prioritätsstreit, "priority dispute") was an argument between the mathematicians Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz over who had first invented calculus. The question was a major intellectual controversy, which began simmering in 1699 and broke out in full force in 1711. Leibniz had published his work first, but Newton's supporters accused Leibniz of plagiarizing Newton's unpublished ideas. Leibniz died in disfavor in 1716 after his patron, the Elector Georg Ludwig of Hanover, became King George I of Great Britain in 1714. The modern consensus is that both men developed their ideas independently."

    Newton first used it in 1666 and Leibniz in 1675. The controversy is where Leibniz got inspired by letters he may have read from Newton during those nine years. But Leibniz developed the calculus further with a more approachable way than Newton, so both deserve credit. I’ve seen someone say Newton set the seed and Leibniz watered it

    They both have equal credit in the discovery of Calculus, since they both arrived to the notion from a different perspective that is pretty much impossible to fake in such short amount of time, specially at the rate speed information spread at the time. Is just that the british are a tad jingoistic and think their s**t smells better, particularly when it comes to continental Europe. But in an ironic twist of fate, we all use Leibniz notation for differential and integral calculus, simply because is far better than Newton's.

    Yes, the world does use Leibniz's notation for differentials, but the British often use Newton's [dot, double dots as opposed to deltas]. Certainly when I was at school in England 50 years ago we used Newton's notation for calculus.

    I had Codebreaker : Bletchley Park's Lost Heroes in the background this week. Suddenly I hear a distinctive voice I recognise. It was Keith! Talking about codebreaker Bill Tutte getting his Fellowship and signing the great book of autographs. He wore his hair a little shorter and more tidily combed back then!

    Love these. Here's an interesting thought question which occurred to me while watching this one. We tend to say so-and-so "invented" such-and-such math. Since math describes the basics of the universe, would it be more correct to say they "Discovered" it?

    Depends on your philosophical bent. Not many Physicists think that our math describes the universe directly; so they’d say that they had indeed invented a tool which can be used to model the universe.

    Not sure if you're already aware but that's where the integral sign comes from (it's an old style 'S', short for 'Summa' or in English 'Sum' because Leibniz saw integration as an infinite sum of infinitesimal parts).
