Harvard University Didn’t Offer Calculus Classes for This Reason…
Harvard University didn’t offer calculus in the first few years of being a university. Why? Because it wasn’t invented yet. Modern calculus was developed in 17th-century Europe, but only after Harvard established itself as a university.
Harvard was established in 1636. It’s America’s oldest institution of higher learning. It’s funny to think that they started before the invention of calculus, a foundation of mathematics.
