History of early modern mathematics (1200-1700)
University of Cambridge

Arithmetic, algebra, geometry, algebraic geometry and what they called Rational Mechanics or the mathematics of the infinite (you call it the calculus) changed the West's economy and technology and science repeatedly. This history is a story of developments in mathematics that came about for all sorts of accidental and incidental reasons, changed the economy of Europe, created capitalism, gave rise to the ambitions underlying modern science, and created the most powerful analytical tool known to humans.
