Algebra vs Calculus
[edit]Someone changed Cantor's (?) reference from algebra to calculus giving the "fact" that calculus had been introduced from the arabs a century earlier. Actually BOTH calculus and algebra have parallel developments for thousands of years. While modern algebra may have come from the arabs fairly recently both disciplines have been around for a long long time and nobody gets sole credit for any of it. The question still is - what word goes in the paragraph? If Cantor used algebra, algebra goes there not calculus, however irrational it may seem to a reader. Maybe a longer explanation is needed.

- You state: ″Actually BOTH calculus and algebra have parallel developments for thousands of years. While modern algebra may have come from the arabs fairly recently both disciplines have been around for a long long time and nobody gets sole credit for any of it.″ You really have to provide sources for this - of scholarly quality. --Gerard1453 (talk) 17:25, 12 July 2019 (UTC)
Note that the same algebra-vs-calculus issue occurs art the end of the same quote in Oxford_Calculators. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.16.8.185 (talk) 16:00, 19 November 2019 (UTC)
