Editing Method of Fluxions (section)

==Background==
[[Fluxion (mathematics)|Fluxion]] is Newton's term for a [[derivative]]. He originally developed the method at [[Woolsthorpe Manor]] during the closing of [[University of Cambridge|Cambridge]] due to the [[Great Plague of London]] from 1665 to 1667. Newton did not choose to make his findings known (similarly, his findings which eventually became the ''[[Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica]]'' were developed at this time and hidden from the world in Newton's notes for many years). [[Gottfried Leibniz]] developed his form of calculus independently around 1673, seven years after Newton had developed the basis for differential calculus, as seen in surviving documents like “the method of fluxions and [[Fluent (mathematics)|fluents]]..." from 1666. Leibniz, however, published his discovery of differential calculus in 1684, nine years before Newton formally published his fluxion [[notation]] form of calculus in part during 1693.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Sastry |first=S.Subramanya |title=The Newton-Leibniz controversy over the invention of the calculus |url=http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~sastry/hs323/calculus.pdf |website=[[University of Wisconsin–Madison]] Computer Sciences User Pages}}</ref>
