    Unlike geometry‚ algebra was not developed in Europe. Algebra was actually discovered (or developed) in the Arab countries along side geometry. Many mathematicians worked and developed the system of math to be known as the algebra of today. European countries did not obtain information on algebra until relatively later years of the 12th century. After algebra was discovered in Europe‚ mathematicians put the information to use in very remarkable ways. Also‚ algebraic and geometric ways of thinking

    the basis for binary code‚ was discovered by Gottfried Leibniz in 1679 and appears in his article Explication de l’Arithmétique Binaire. The full title is translated into English as the "Explanation of the binary arithmetic"‚ which uses only the characters 1 and 0‚ with some remarks on its usefulness‚ and on the light it throws on the ancient Chinese figures of Fu Xi."[1] (1703). Leibniz’s system uses 0 and 1‚ like the modern binary numeral system. Leibniz encountered the I Ching through French Jesuit

    I personally think that Isaac Newton is without a doubt‚ a hero. He is a hero because of his scientific achievements and life events. He found a way to split white light and find its color contents‚ he discovered then extended his three laws of motion that frame the world of physics‚ and for crying out loud‚ the man invented calculus. Not just that‚ these examples aren’t even including all of his very many scientific achievements‚ inventions‚ or founds. For starters‚ Isaac Newton’s theory of “fluxions”

    fundamental theorem of calculus. Both branches make use of the fundamental notions of convergence of infinite sequences and infinite series to a well-defined limit. Generally considered to have been founded in the 17th century by Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibniz‚ today calculus has widespread uses in science‚ engineering and economics and can solve many problems that algebra alone cannot. Calculus is a part of modern mathematics education. A course in calculus is a gateway to other‚ more advanced courses
