Bonus Episode: History of Calculus, Part 1 - Introduction and Development

This episode will be a bit different than our regular content. In our first bonus episode, we will take a look at the development of one the most important inventions in human history: the theory of calculus. Before you immediately click away, however, know that this isn't going to be a dry, boring lecture on mathematical theory. The approach of this miniseries will be to look at the context in which calculus was developed, the lives of the major figures involved, and the centuries-long process of rigorization that fundamentally changed all of mathematics.
