The historical development of the calculus C. H Edwards
Publisher: Springer

In so doing, he It also applies to the geographically distributed bursts of simultaneous scientific or technical insight such as calculus, oxygen, and evolution. These are the kinds of questions we found ourselves asking after reading Steven Johnson's Where Good Ideas Come From: The Natural History of Innovation. The most remarkable thing about the following example of Archimedes' thinking is that it pre-dates the work of Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibniz (the 17th century mathematicians who developed differential calculus) by around 2000 years. The parts of the curriculum I've worked with so far have been quite elegant. The familiar path from positive whole number arithmetic all the way to arithmetic on the real numbers (as used in calculus) that many teachers (for the most enticing of reasons!) find so attractive - which is actually not the same as the actual historical development, but never mind for now - goes completely counter to the way arithmetic systems should be developed to be able to meet today's societal needs.

Johnson provides an extensive tour of a general theory of innovation. What's fascinating is that without calculus most of our modern civilization would not exist: physics, engineering, etc. A longer history might begin with Gottfried Leibnitz and Isaac Newton's simultaneous development of modern calculus and the dream of a universal artificial mathematical language. Take-home lesson #3: The development of algebra is an important motivator, historically anyway, for the development of negatives. Or at least not in the way it is. That's one strand I am hoping to develop, see if it lleads to something else. Pedagogical idea: How can we use this historical motivation to develop negatives with students? He said the Kurds had no interest in helping Mr Erdogan's ruling Justice and Development (AK) party to push through constitutional changes that would boost the powers of the presidency. I have a special interest in this kind of thing because the name of this blog, squareCircleZ, is derived from the historical attempt to construct a square with the same area as a given circle (called “squaring the circle”). I'm curious to see how the Math U See curriculum would deal with that — since it's manipulative-based and goes all the way up to calculus.
