Golden Integral Calculus Pdf

[Pricilla Igoe]

Bygolden rule" you may be thinking of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, which states that the derivative of the integral of a function is just equal to the original function (they cancel out). On the other hand, the integral of the derivative of a function is equal to the value of the function at the upward bound of the integral, minus the value of the function at the lower bound of the integral. For example, taking the integral from 0 to 1 of df(x)/dx gives you f(1) - f(0). Therefore, even though derivative and anti-derivative are reverse processes in a sense, taking the derivative of the integral gives you very different results from taking the integral of a derivative.

Have you ever wondered why the name of our county seat appears right there on the state seal? (In fact, it's the state motto.) And speaking of Eureka, what's that about Archimedes running naked around the streets of Syracuse yelling the name of Humboldt's largest city?

Archimedes was the greatest mathematician of the ancient world. For instance, he's credited with inventing the precursor of integral calculus ("infinitesimals"), anticipating the work of Newton and Euler by two thousand years. He lived in the Greek city-state of Syracuse, on the east coast of Sicily, from about 287 to 212 B.C. He's also known for all manner of inventions, such as the "Archimedes screw," a helical device still used to pump water.

Ironically, he's probably best known for an occurrence that probably never happened. The legend is that King Hiero II of Syracuse worried that a dishonest goldsmith had adultered a supposedly pure gold crown with silver. How to find out the truth, without damaging the crown? Archimedes' insight -- which supposedly prompted his au naturel hollering, "Eureka!" ("I've got it!") around his home town -- came as he was getting into his bath tub: the water rose by the same volume that his body occupied. Do the same thing with the crown -- that is, dunk it in water and measure how much the water rises -- and you've got the crown's volume. Knowing its weight, you can now figure out the crown's density. Since gold is about twice the density of silver, that'll tell you if it's pure gold or not.

It really wouldn't work that way -- the ancient Greeks couldn't measure to the required degree of accuracy. In fact the whole story is suspect -- folks would have figured the obvious volume trick long before Archimedes came along. But the story stuck, and the phrase got embedded in California history with the January 1848 discovery of gold at Sutter's Mill. What better shorthand for a miner's success than "I've got it!" -- and in just in one word, "Eureka"? From there, it was a short leap for the word to be included in the Great Seal of California at the California Constitutional Convention in Monterey in 1849.

A year later, optimistically hoping that the Trinity River area would match the success of the forty-niners' gold fields, early settlers chose the name "Eureka" for the first port on Humboldt Bay. Which is why I live in a place corresponding to the first person singular perfect indicative active of a Greek verb.

Newton said he had begun working on a form of calculus (which he called "the method of fluxions and fluents") in 1666, at the age of 23, but did not publish it except as a minor annotation in the back of one of his publications decades later (a relevant Newton manuscript of October 1666 is now published among his mathematical papers[1]). Gottfried Leibniz began working on his variant of calculus in 1674, and in 1684 published his first paper employing it, "Nova Methodus pro Maximis et Minimis". L'Hpital published a text on Leibniz's calculus in 1696 (in which he recognized that Newton's Principia of 1687 was "nearly all about this calculus"). Meanwhile, Newton, though he explained his (geometrical) form of calculus in Section I of Book I of the Principia of 1687,[2] did not explain his eventual fluxional notation for the calculus[3] in print until 1693 (in part) and 1704 (in full).

The prevailing opinion in the 18th century was against Leibniz (in Britain, not in the German-speaking world). Today the consensus is that Leibniz and Newton independently invented and described the calculus in Europe in the 17th century.

It was certainly Isaac Newton who first devised a new infinitesimal calculus and elaborated it into a widely extensible algorithm, whose potentialities he fully understood; of equal certainty, differential and integral calculus, the fount of great developments flowing continuously from 1684 to the present day, was created independently by Gottfried Leibniz.

the Newtonian and Leibnizian schools shared a common mathematical method. They adopted two algorithms, the analytical method of fluxions, and the differential and integral calculus, which were translatable one into the other.

In the 17th century, as at the present time, the question of scientific priority was of great importance to scientists. However, during this period, scientific journals had just begun to appear, and the generally accepted mechanism for fixing priority by publishing information about the discovery had not yet been formed. Among the methods used by scientists were anagrams, sealed envelopes placed in a safe place, correspondence with other scientists, or a private message. A letter to the founder of the French Academy of Sciences, Marin Mersenne for a French scientist, or to the secretary of the Royal Society of London, Henry Oldenburg for English, had practically the status of a published article. The discoverer could "time-stamp" the moment of his discovery, and prove that he knew of it at the point the letter was sealed, and had not copied it from anything subsequently published. Nevertheless, where an idea was subsequently published in conjunction with its use in a particularly valuable context, this might take priority over an earlier discoverer's work, which had no obvious application. Further, a mathematician's claim could be undermined by counter-claims that he had not truly invented an idea, but merely improved on someone else's idea, an improvement that required little skill, and was based on facts that were already known.[5]

Newton's approach to the priority problem can be illustrated by the example of the discovery of the inverse-square law as applied to the dynamics of bodies moving under the influence of gravity. Based on an analysis of Kepler's laws and his own calculations, Robert Hooke made the assumption that motion under such conditions should occur along orbits similar to elliptical. Unable to rigorously prove this claim, he reported it to Newton. Without further entering into correspondence with Hooke, Newton solved this problem, as well as the inverse to it, proving that the law of inverse-squares follows from the ellipticity of the orbits. This discovery was set forth in his famous work Philosophi Naturalis Principia Mathematica without indicating the name Hooke. At the insistence of astronomer Edmund Halley, to whom the manuscript was handed over for editing and publication, the phrase was included in the text that the compliance of Kepler's first law with the law of inverse squares was "independently approved by Wren, Hooke and Halley."[11]

The infinitesimal calculus can be expressed either in the notation of fluxions or in that of differentials, or, as noted above, it was also expressed by Newton in geometrical form, as in the Principia of 1687. Newton employed fluxions as early as 1666, but did not publish an account of his notation until 1693. The earliest use of differentials in Leibniz's notebooks may be traced to 1675. He employed this notation in a 1677 letter to Newton. The differential notation also appeared in Leibniz's memoir of 1684.

No attempt was made to rebut #4, which was not known at the time, but which provides the strongest of the evidence that Leibniz came to the calculus independently from Newton. This evidence, however, is still questionable based on the discovery, in the inquest and after, that Leibniz both back-dated and changed fundamentals of his "original" notes, not only in this intellectual conflict, but in several others.[14] He also published "anonymous" slanders of Newton regarding their controversy which he tried, initially, to claim he was not author of.[14]

If good faith is nevertheless assumed, however, Leibniz's notes as presented to the inquest came first to integration, which he saw as a generalization of the summation of infinite series, whereas Newton began from derivatives. However, to view the development of calculus as entirely independent between the work of Newton and Leibniz misses the point that both had some knowledge of the methods of the other (though Newton did develop most fundamentals before Leibniz started) and in fact worked together on a few aspects, in particular power series, as is shown in a letter to Henry Oldenburg dated 24 October 1676, where Newton remarks that Leibniz had developed a number of methods, one of which was new to him.[15] Both Leibniz and Newton could see by this exchange of letters that the other was far along towards the calculus (Leibniz in particular mentions it) but only Leibniz was prodded thereby into publication.

That Leibniz saw some of Newton's manuscripts had always been likely. In 1849, C. I. Gerhardt, while going through Leibniz's manuscripts, found extracts from Newton's De Analysi per Equationes Numero Terminorum Infinitas (published in 1704 as part of the De Quadratura Curvarum but also previously circulated among mathematicians starting with Newton giving a copy to Isaac Barrow in 1669 and Barrow sending it to John Collins[16]) in Leibniz's handwriting, the existence of which had been previously unsuspected, along with notes re-expressing the content of these extracts in Leibniz's differential notation. Hence when these extracts were made becomes all-important. It is known that a copy of Newton's manuscript had been sent to Ehrenfried Walther von Tschirnhaus in May 1675, a time when he and Leibniz were collaborating; it is not impossible that these extracts were made then. It is also possible that they may have been made in 1676, when Leibniz discussed analysis by infinite series with Collins and Oldenburg. It is probable that they would have then shown him the manuscript of Newton on that subject, a copy of which one or both of them surely possessed. On the other hand, it may be supposed that Leibniz made the extracts from the printed copy in or after 1704. Shortly before his death, Leibniz admitted in a letter to Abb Antonio Schinella Conti, that in 1676 Collins had shown him some of Newton's papers, but Leibniz also implied that they were of little or no value. Presumably he was referring to Newton's letters of 13 June and 24 October 1676, and to the letter of 10 December 1672, on the method of tangents, extracts from which accompanied the letter of 13 June.
