Abstract: Abstract Since antiquity the intuitive notions of continuous change, growth, and motion, have challenged scientific minds. Yet, the way to the understanding of continuous variation was opened only in the seventeenth century when modern science emerged and rapidly developed in close conjunction with integral and differential calculus, briefly called calculus, and mathematical analysis.
