It was like hitting a brick wall. I did great in all forms of mathematics until I hit calculus. Algebra. Geometry. Trigonometry. Statistics. Probability. All easy peasey lemon squeezy. Mr. Trachenburg took pity on me and passed me in calculus, even though it was mathematically impossible with the grades that I earned.
All I know, for sure, is that Isaac Newton invented calculus because the mathematics of the time wasn't powerful enough for him to help his good friend, Edmund Halley, determine the correct parameters regarding the elliptical orbits of comets.
