The consensus today is that both Newton and Leibniz created calculus independently. Yet, this was not so clear at the beginning of the eighteenth century. A bitter controversy took place at that time, which came to be known as the 'calculus war', probably the greatest clash in the history of science. While it is accepted that the debate started when Fatio de Duillier publicly accused Leibniz of plagiarism in 1699, earlier evidence of its origins can be found in an exchange of letters between Leibniz and Huygens.

对微积分战争起源的新见解

今天的共识是，牛顿和莱布尼茨都是独立创造了微积分。然而，这在 18 世纪初并不那么清楚。当时发生了一场激烈的争论，后来被称为“微积分战争”，这可能是科学史上最大的冲突。虽然公认的争论始于 1699 年法蒂奥·德·杜利埃 (Fatio de Duillier) 公开指责莱布尼茨抄袭，但在莱布尼茨和惠更斯 (Huygens) 之间的来往信函中可以找到有关其起源的较早证据。
