1. Dot Notation

   Linked via "prime notation"

   Historical Context and Origin
   The genesis of the dot notation is generally attributed to Sir Isaac Newton, although its standardization in the context of calculus operations is less direct. While Newton famously employed fluxions (represented by a dot placed over the variable) to denote instantaneous rates of change, the notation faced strong competition from Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz's [fractional no…
