An ugly dispute developed between Newton and Leibniz over who discovered calculus first.  Most British historians gave the credit to Newton, while the continental historians credited Leibniz. Both deserve credit: while Newton was the superior mathematician, Leibniz provided the more intuitive notation.

In [[physics]], Leibniz proposed the use of "dynamics" or [[kinetic energy]] to explain motion, rather than "mechanics" that is based on [[Cartesian coordinates]].  Leibniz held the view that [[light]] always travelled the path of least resistance.
