Algebra Geometry Trigonometry Calculus Calculus 3 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: CALCULUS Answer: Calculus was created by Isaac Newton, a British scientist, as well as Gottfried Leibniz, a self-taught German mathematician, in the 17th century. It has been long disputed who should take credit for inventing calculus first, but both independently made discoveries that led to what we know now as calculus. By the end of the 17th century, each scholar claimed that the other had stolen his work, and the Leibniz-Newton calculus controversy continued until the death of Leibniz in 1716. Today, calculus has widespread uses in science, engineering, and economics. Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan.

What is it? 307 401 907 808 401 5 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: 401 Answer: Area code 401 is the area code that serves the entire state of Rhode Island. 401 is one of the original 86 North American area codes, which were created in 1947. Because of its low population, Rhode Island is one of only twelve states to only have just one area code. Despite the proliferation of cell phones, 401 is not projected to be exhausted until after 2050. The 12 U.S. states that have only one area code are: Alaska, Delaware, Hawaii, Idaho, Maine, Montana, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont, and Wyoming.

Gillette Jacob Schick Eliphalet Remington Max Braun Jacob Schick 4 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: JACOB SCHICK Answer: On this day in 1931, the first electric razor went on sale in New York City. The gizmos were the brainchild of Col. Jacob Schick. The idea of creating the electric razor came to Schick while he was recuperating after breaking his ankle while doing some gold exploration in Alaska and British Columbia. Finding it difficult to shave, Schick set his mind to devise a more comfortable way to shave. The entrepreneur obtained a patent for his dry electric shaver and started the Schick Dry Shaver, Inc. razor company. Schick is now considered the father of the electric razor.
