Welcome
I have just reverted a good faith edit by an anon. editor. First, anon, I encourage you to take a user name so that we might talk on the same 'wavelength'. But however you wish to contribute, it would be good to cite some sources for reasoning. The mechanics for this is the, which then appears in the holds the intended pixel size (or pixel aspect ratio)". Feel free to delete it if you think it's not relevant. 93.72.49.123 (talk) 16:52, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I don't think the PNG redirect applies here, as it's not common use. I would agree to the Phys redirects here template; however, I feel as though Phys.org could not qualify given it has a domain name. Callme mirela &#127809; 20:11, 3 May 2023 (UTC)

Isaac Barrow, Newton's teacher
I noticed a statement in the article that 'Newton invented calculus'. However the credit belongs to Isaac Barrow, Newton's teacher. Barrow invented the problem of determining fluents and fluxions. If you read his theorems they read like freshman calculus. However Barrow's methods of calculation were resolutely geometrical and new notation using algebra had to arise for anyone who needs to turn the crank to get an answer. So the article should be reworded. Probably the fact that Newton's teacher invented the problem meant it went on  Newton's 2nd priority list. Whereas the System of the World was Newton's first priority? See I.Bernard Cohen's translation of Principia Mathematica. --Ancheta Wis   (talk  &#124; contribs) 15:08, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
