On May 7, 1992, the space shuttle Endeavour was launchedon mission STS-49, the purpose of which was to install a newperigee kick motor in an Intelsat communications satellite.The table gives the velocity data for the shuttle betweenliftoff and the jettisoning of the solid rocket boosters.Event Time (s) Velocity (m/s)Launch 0 0Begin roll maneuver 10 56.4End roll maneuver 15 97.2Throttle to 89% 20 136.2Throttle to 67% 32 226.2Throttle to 104% 59 403.9Maximum dynamic pressure 62 440.4Solid rocket booster separation 125 1265.2The following exercises are intended only for those who havealready covered Chapter 7.67. f (sin x + sinh x) <strong>dx</strong>1//3 t2 - I71. f. -4--dtD t - 168. flD 2e x <strong>dx</strong>-10 sinh x + cosh x70. f2 (x - 1)3 <strong>dx</strong>1 x 2lIb] The area labeled B is three times the area labeled A.

But we know that the basic ideas behind integrationwere investigated 2500 years ago by ancient Greeks such as Eudoxus and Archimedes, andmethods for finding tangents were pioneered by Pierre Fermat (1601-1665), <strong>Is</strong>aac Barrow(1630-1677), and others. Barrow-who taught at Cambridge and was a major influence onNewton-was the first to understand the inverse relationship between differentiation and integration.What Newton and Leibniz did was to use this relationship, in the form of the FundamentalTheorem of Calculus, in order to develop calculus into a systematic mathematical discipline. Itis in this sense that Newton and Leibniz are credited with the invention of calculus.Read about the contributions of these men in one or more of the given references and write areport on one of the following three topics. You can include biographical details, but the mainthrust of your report should be a description, in some detail, of their methods and notations. Inparticular, you should consult one of the sourcebooks, which give excerpts from the originalpublications of Newton and Leibniz, translated from Latin to English.• The Role of Newton in the Development• The Role of Leibniz in the Developmentof Calculusof Calculus• The Controversy between the Followers of Newton and Leibniz overPriority in the Invention of CalculusI.
