Now regarded as the bane of many college students existence, calculus was one of the most important mathematical innovations of the seventeenth century. But a dispute over its discovery sewed the seeds of discontent between two of the greatest scientific giants of all time Sir Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz.Today Newton and Leibniz are generally considered the twin independent inventors of calculus, and they are both credited with giving mathematics its greatest push forward since the time of the Greeks. Had they known each other under different circumstances, they might have been friends. But in their own lifetimes, the joint glory of calculus was not enough for either and each declared war against the other, openly and in secret.This long and bitter dispute has been swept under the carpet by historians perhaps because it reveals Newton and Leibniz in their worst light but The Calculus Wars tells the full story in narrative form for the first time. This vibrant and gripping scientific potboiler ultimately exposes how these twin mathematical giants were brilliant, proud, at times mad and, in the end, completely human.

This book had some amazing insights, but I found parts of it a little hard to follow. The author dives deep into the technical aspects of calculus, which can be overwhelming at times. Still, it’s great for anyone looking to understand this historical battle. Just be prepared to re-read some sections!

Not What I Expected
I was excited to read about the calculus war, but the book felt more like a lecture at times. The writing is dense, and I struggled to stay engaged. I think it could have used more storytelling to bring the characters to life. Still, it has valuable information if you can get through the tough parts.

A Fascinating Dive into Math History
The book is such a captivating read! The clash between Newton and Leibniz is presented in a way that kept me glued to the pages. I especially loved the detailed explanations of their theories and how they impacted mathematics. Highly recommend it for anyone interested in the history of science!
