Well, I suppose it all depends on the correct definition of calculus. I think only from the perspective of someone trying to find the logical progression of ideas, not from the perspective of someone with a practical understanding of higher mathematics.

In an odd coincidence, just a few days before you mentioned the Leibniz/Newton controversy, I had, out of historical curiosity, looked into who discovered calculus. I didn't even know the definition of calculus and I only know it (or think I know it) now from reading a few paragraphs in Wikipedia. Based on my understanding of the definition of calculus, Bhaskara II was its discoverer, but since I haven't studied calculus in anything but a historical context, I could be entirely mistaken.

[quote="ICantBreathe";p="361036"]I agree. I believe Leonardo Davinci is the most gifted, brilliant man who ever lived.
