Cohen's book looks interesting, so I ordered it.

I'm now reading Gleick's short biography of Isaac Newton, who was a

Regardless, my followup isn't about this thread's titular Einstein.
It's about Newton.

I knew they had some interesting results but not that they had

Very interesting - thanks for pointing it out.

And thank you for the link to the pertinent paper. Here's a paper about
Archimedes' contribution to calculus:

Although Achimedes apparently approaches integration from a geometric
perspective, Newton's calculus uses Cartesian coordinates.

Danke,
