Historical Math


Reading about the history of calculus last night, and ended up
consulting the Russian language version of the Bernoulli differential
equation.

Turns out one can integrate an exponent!😄



found in (Russian version):
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89quation_diff%C3%A9rentielle_de_Bernoulli

Also interesting, first pass at the gravity problem (1687) with Leibniz, below:

Newton  intoduced mass to the problem that same year, but Cavendish had an approximation
for a gravitational constant in 1798. G notation came in 1890.
