FataMorgana Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 want and answer for integral or differential? - they are different from what I know:p well, Fundamental theory calculus is linked to Newton and Leibniz, but supposingly the indian Bhaskara was the first to conceive of differential calculus.

d'Arthez Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 Newton and Leibniz But who of the two? They did not collaborate on this. As for the differential calculus it is closely related to the integral calculus, both in its meaning and functions. Link to post Share on other sites

d'Arthez Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 how many calories in a teaspoon of semen? Easy: E= MC^2. So we only have to figure out what the mass is of the semen on the teaspoon. And convert the Joules back to calories . Link to post Share on other sites

d'Arthez Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 I was actually referring to Dietzgen. Plekhanov was familiar with the works of Marx and Engels. Dietzgen was not and developed his theory independently from Marx. Only to find out that Marx and Engels had discovered the same thing, a bit earlier than Dietzgen himself. Perhaps I should have said "inventor" but I find it hard to apply that to philosophical theories. Link to post Share on other sites

quankanne Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 hmmm ... I'd have thought something along the lines that a computer system that was so simply operated was tempting to try (like eve tempted adam with the apple). Edit: to quankanne - I have no clue. Sorry, we must have answered at the same time. I'll give it one more shot before I spill the beans: in the original "Blues Brothers" movie, there's a sequence with Ray Charles, a music store owner, jamming with the guys as they try out instruments. As they play, there are people outside the place, dancing to the song Ray's singing. What's the name of the song? Bonus point question: who was singer who played the owner of a cafe who broke into the number "(You Better) Think" when her man told her that he was leaving to play with the band again?
