330 years ago today,
Gottfried Liebniz first demonstrated that integral
calculus can be used to calculate the area under the graph of a function. In college I learned how to wrap a function around the
x-axis and use integral calculus to find the volume of the resulting three-dimensional figure. Thanks Gottfriend! (And thanks to
Wikipedia for the information.)
