Who is Called the Father of Calculus?
Correct answer: D. Isaac Newton
- A. Al-Khwarizmi
- B. Aristotle
- C. Herodotus
- D. Isaac Newton
Explanation
Isaac Newton is commonly called one of the fathers of calculus because he developed differential and integral methods independently of Gottfried Leibniz. Al-Khwarizmi is associated mainly with algebra, so choosing option a confuses the historical founders of different mathematical fields. Leibniz also independently developed calculus, but he is not included among the options.

About Sequences and Series
Sequences describe ordered terms formed by a pattern, while series represent the sum of those terms. Questions cover arithmetic and geometric sequences, their nth terms, common difference or ratio, finite sums, and applications, with the sequence itself kept distinct from the corresponding series.
