  • Episode 7. Integration: Newton and Leibniz arrive at the conclusion that differentiation and integration are inverse processes.
    “The Mechanical Universe,” is a critically-acclaimed series of 52 thirty-minute videos covering the basic topics of an introductory university physics course.
    Each program in the series opens and closes with Caltech Professor David Goodstein providing philosophical, historical and often humorous insight into the subject at hand while lecturing to his freshman physics class. The series contains hundreds of computer animation segments, created by Dr. James F. Blinn, as the primary tool of instruction. Dynamic location footage and historical re-creations are also used to stress the fact that science is a human endeavor.
    The series was originally produced as a broadcast telecourse in 1985 by Caltech and Intelecom, Inc. with program funding from the Annenberg/CPB Project.
    The online version of the series is sponsored by the Information Science and Technology initiative at Caltech. ist.caltech.edu

    Leibniz idea of small rectangles like that of a picket fence under a bounded curve was quite similar to the idea of the method of exhaustion that the greeks used with triangles to come up with the area of a parabolic segment or that of a circle..

    Isaac also did Hooke wrong. Newton wasn't the only one who arrived to a conclusion of the discovery of gravity. Newton's position in politics, put him in an advantegoues position to not share credit to scientific discoveries with fellow scientists that came to same conclusions he did. I'm not downplaying or minimizing Isaac's contribution to physics and mathematics. But what I'm simply saying is that he was a bitter dude.

      issac wasnt the only one to find gravity? name it who did, you are probably working for the tabloid newpaper, the only way that you can understand the laws of force is only by inventing calculus first. issac was totally more than nice enough to give the credit of the discovery of a halley's comet to edmond halley. at that time isaac already had equipped with calculus and laws of force at his disposal, he told edmond halley where to find the comet in his solution r(t) which means the position of the comet as a function of time.

      ​@@sphakamisozondi the biggest mistake isaac newton ever made was to send the letter of discovery of calculus to weasel liebniz something like 10 ~15 years before liebniz trying to get a credit of it. some people said isaac was bitter like you, but these herd behaving people like parrots couldnt show and tell which part of isaac was bitter? his giving free scientific discovery credit to anyone? or shutting up their jealous mouths like hooke. besides, calling the spring force the hookes' law is already insulting to me, otherwise we will end up naming the items forces as many times as the number of chemical compounds, isaac fought with liebniz for 20 years till isaac died. hooke and liebniz the same, in my blatant opinion, "steal it from isaac then name it with mine". isaac basically sold the household name discovery of halley's comet's location to halley in exchange for publishing principle of mathematica, isaac was too poor to afford it alone.

    just calculus in math? as being a 1st person to know about the calculus, he invented the differential eqs, how to solve differential eq with power method, every numerical method you can think of, how to solve ultimate nonlinear multi-dimensional coupled equations, jacobian matrix..... just say whole mathematics, if liebniz really knew about the calculus, he would have come with something in math but had none, because when liebniz received the calculus letter from issac newton, he knew how important it would be... so liebniz invented the calculus notations and everyone can make notations.

    • @abcdef2069
      @abcdef2069 2 роки тому

      when liebniz published calculus, it made issac newton so mad that issac newton had to quit everything he was woking on and fight for the calculus credit for 20 YEARS until he died. issac wasted his greatest mind on this credit garbage. imagine what more he would and could have complished with his riped and ripened scientific mind. if one understands to solve nonlinear multi-dimensional coupled equations, tears may form in your eyes they are the epitome of all things.

      @@abcdef2069 wrong, they literally showed in the video how Leibniz’s practical approach to calculus was different from Newton’s, like Leibniz had his own system of integration for example, also Newton’s method for calculating the derivative doesn’t work 100% of the time, were as Leibniz’s does as such we don’t use Newton’s calculus at all anymore in the modern day. Don’t get me wrong Newton is my ultimate all time hero so I am in no way attempting to discredit him here, I’m just trying to say that it’s unfair to just write off Leibniz when he was by far the superior mathematician.

      @@abcdef2069 1) I never said anything about who published first, that’s irrelevant to me I’m talking about who was the more talented mathematician.
      2) Newton had a brilliant propaganda team, which does influence the public conscious a little bit into seeing Newton as the superior mind.
      3) I doubt he would have made any contributions at the age of 60+, and even if he did the same could be said for Leibniz, who was also busy arguing with him at that time.
      4) To believe Newton’s the greatest mathematician you have to accept that other people are on par with him since many have made the same discoveries as him, think Raphson, Madhava and of course Leibniz.
      5) I know Newton’s formulas can seem more complex than Leibniz’s but in mathematics you want quickness and efficiency in your formulas, not complexity. Also he basically just recycled stuff from Euclid as he believed the ancient Greeks had divine enlightenment, so his infinite series probably could have been discovered by Archimedes or Leibniz, only they didn’t hold that stuff in as high regard as he. Just goes to show what an influence your interests have on your abilities.
      6) Weather Leibniz was a good person or not is irrelevant to my argument, also why should he have credited him, all he did was present him with the already discovered works of old which Newton used to privately invent his calculus, he did this to see if Leibniz was smart enough to do the same independently, which makes it very impressive that Leibniz had the better which he came up with from scratch, but even if you believe the version were Newton flat out showed him his completed calculus, but even then Leibniz made improvements Newton never could have, wether that be due to busyness with other things on Newton’s part or what. But no matter what you believe at the end of the day Leibniz couldn’t have done it without Newton’s influence.
