So did that mean we were “finished” with calculus? Somewhere along the way we built out discrete calculus , asymptotic expansions and integral transforms. And in Version 14 there are significant advances around calculus. Another advance has to do with expanding the range of “pre-packaged” calculus operations.

But he had a second hypothesis too—based, he said, on the ideas of “that most ingenious gentleman, Monsieur Descartes”: that instead air consists of “flexible particles” that are “so whirled around” that “each corpuscle endeavors to beat off all others”. Nevertheless, every insurance company places its faith in the calculus of probabilities.

When you do operations on Around numbers the “errors” are combined using a certain calculus of errors that’s effectively based on Gaussian distributions—and the results you get are always in some sense statistical. Also in the area of calculus we’ve added various conveniences to the handling of differential equations. 1/(24 60 60+1.).

Needless to say, you can do this computationally—though the “calculus” of what’s been defined so far in Unicode is fairly bizarre: &#10005. And in addition to adding a great deal of flexibility, this also means that the toolbar immediately works on all platforms. (By . &#10005. &#10005. &#10005. &#10005.
