The greatest mathematical dad joke in history! Newton and Leibniz both claimed to invent calculus in the 17th century, sparking one of science's most famous priority disputes. The punchline? It was a bit derivative! 🤓 Get it? Because derivatives are a fundamental concept in calculus AND because Leibniz's work could be seen as derived from Newton's (or vice versa, depending who you ask). The math history burn that took 350 years to land!
