KOCHI: The story of pi is one of great intrigue. On a cosmological plane, this natural constant is believed to hold secrets of the universe, evident in the spiral patterns of galaxies and the way ...

On this day in 1675, Gottfried Leibniz demonstrates integral calculus for the first time to find the area under the graph of y = ƒ(x), at least according to historical documents. You may use this page ...

When doing complex calculations in school, we have fond memories of using a calculator. The credit for this goes to Gottfried Leibniz. Gottfried Leibniz was a renowned German polymath, known as the ...

Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz had plenty of arguments over the invention of Calculus, but it’s safe to say neither of them saw this coming. While not inventing a new form of mathematics, ...

Abstract: Cybernetics addresses complex problems in space and time, but, surprisingly, it does not often employ fractional calculus. Here, we trace the history of cybernetics and fractional calculus ...

The calculus ratiocinator, a concept introduced by philosopher Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, serves as a framework for iterative holistic transformations of problems. Rooted in the realm of mathematics ...
