rebus
Posted Answers
The differential calculus required new terms when it was invented more than 300 years ago and it has gone on inspiring new terms ever since.
Many of the basic terms were introduced by Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646-1716) writing in Latin. Because of the strength of the Newtonian tradition in England many of these terms entered English only in the 18th or 19th centuries.
