Primes¶
- Convergent Evolution
- Their causal independence with respect to the outcome is the historically-established fact at the heart of the famous priority dispute: each developed the core ideas of the differential and integral calculus without copying the other, from his own foundations and notation (Newton's fluxions, Leibniz's \(dx\) and \(\int\)), so neither inherited the result from a common source that already had it nor transmitted it to the other — the two exclusions are both discharged.
This sourceEstablishes that Newton and Leibniz developed the calculus independently, from different foundations and notations, despite the priority dispute.
