How did calculus grow from ancient geometry into one of the most powerful tools ever created?
This calm, slow-paced journey explores the story of calculus—from Archimedes and early ideas about infinity to Newton and Leibniz, the development of limits, derivatives and integrals, and the mathematicians who made it rigorous. We’ll also see how calculus shapes physics, engineering, probability, finance and modern artificial intelligence.

I did Additional maths in1966 and 1967.
At that time calculus was new and I am happy to have learnt it.
I later joined
Makerere University to study medicine and surgery.
I am a retired physician.
Wonderful video.
