An article written by Simon Harding and Paul Scott entitled “The History of Computing” explains the very beginnings and developments of computing. Harding and Scott begin their article by explaining the importance of calculus in almost every field, stating that “…in any field you could name, calculus…can be found” (Harding, 1976). I completely agree with this statement and can even support it with examples of its uses in various fields like engineering, medicine, management and retail. All of them use calculus in one way or another, even if it's just for a minute. The authors of this article also pose some questions at the end of their introduction, regarding the “who, what, and when” of the computational foundation. To try to answer their questions, Harding and Scott examine the history of the famous philosopher and one of the founders of calculus, Archimedes. The subsection on Archimedes describes ancient Greece and how countless citizens of the region yearned to know how their world worked. They depended on mathematicians and philosophers to inform them of the structure of the universe. One of the most renowned philosophers of the time, Archimedes of Susa, became one of the forefathers of calculus with his method of determining the area of ​​shapes previously impossible to understand (Harding, 1976). Harding and Scott primarily focused on this Archimedean method, known as the “exhaustion method” (Harding, 1976). Using his method, Archimedes could calculate the areas of formerly impossible figures using infinitely smaller possible shapes within the impossible figure. One example that the authors claim to be extremely well known is his approximation of the area of ​​a circle using tangent lines and p...... middle of paper ...... and their words appeared in a manner and language that someone who doesn't understand the subject would understand. They answered the questions posed to the audience in the introduction in great detail, but without becoming authoritarian. I learned a lot about the mathematical society at different times, including the struggle between Leibniz and Newton, and the method Archimedes used when he helped form calculus. The only two negatives I saw in the article are the big jump from 225 BC to the 15th century, and from the late 15th century to the late 20th century, and the abrupt ending.
