Book cover for Isaac Newton: A Life from Beginning to End (Biographies of Physicists)
By 1665, Newton had discovered the general binomial theorem which led him to begin developing a mathematical theory which later became calculus.

Now that is impressive. I actually loved calculus, and was surprised to see it used in economics in my post-grad studies. The beauty of maths hey?? Thanks Izzy :)
