I don’t think calculus existed at sufficient rigor 200 years ago. Computer science wasn’t even a thing 100 years ago.

- KeplerBoy 2y agoCalculus has been around for quite some time. If Newton had the machinery to fit large models to data, he would have done so. No doubt.
- zmgsabst 2y agoCauchy’s main work was under 200 years ago; and there’s been quite a lot of work since. Again, I’m unsure that calculus existed at sufficient level 200 years ago — it didn’t appear in modern form from either Leibniz or Newton.
