Seminal Ideas in Integral Methods

Abstract

In our written work we claim that we are the author, even sole author, of the analysis we present. In this chapter, I intend to show how farcical this claim is; every step in our analysis is usually the end result of work painstakingly done by our antecedents over the last 2.5 millennia. At the end of the chapter I will identify the mathematicians responsible for the crucial steps in the analysis of a paper I wrote recently. The historical material is largely taken from Kline [1].
