    Ha... He invented calculus and the laws of motion and stuff, too. He was a genius. But yeah, I guess...claiming credit for seeing an apple drop is pretty unimpressive.

      That STARTED him thinking of the laws of motion, the attraction of objects like the moon circling the earth because of attraction which we call gravity. And he came up with proof that if you doubled the distance between two objects the attraction is the square root of the attraction of their original position. He was a genius if his day. Remember this was in the latter part if the 1600's to early 1700's.

      If I were asked the greatest inventor of all time it would be hard to choose. Archimedes, Leonardo da Vinci, Tesla. There are those who would be able to add more to the list but these are INVENTORS not theorists like Einstein for instance.

      Whoever invented math is a moron.

        Math is the language of the gods.

            Given that you are a savant like me, I chose a problem involving partial derivatives that you might enjoy.

            If
            w = (x^2 + y^2 + z^2)^0.5,
            x = e^r * cos(s), y = e^r * sin(s), z = e^s,

            Find
            ∂w/∂r and ∂w/∂s. Hint: Use the chain rule for partial derivatives.

            My MENSA group was talking about this problem last winter.
            Rest assured that matrices of partial derivatives are important in a statistical method known as maximum likelihood which is strongly applicable to weapons targeting software. If you should decide to give up, I have a problem that is a bit easier for you.

        If you want your mind blown with numbers just Google "fibonocci numbers". The concept is credited to Leonardo of Pisa, known as Fibonacci in 1202 but there are references back as far as 200BC. Fibonocci number sequences are common in nature such as the pattern of flower petals.

        The fibonocci sequence is very easy to understand if you do a quick read on it.
