What is Calculus? (Encore)


Listen Later

As early as 2400 years ago, Greek philosophers were coming up with paradoxes that seemingly had no solution. 

Early mathematicians came up with problems that seemed impossible to solve.

It wasn’t until the 17th century that the techniques were finally developed to solve these problems and unlock new fields of science and mathematics. 

Learn more about calculus, what it is, and what it attempts to do on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
