Dive into the second part of a comprehensive math storytelling lecture by Stephen Wolfram, continuing from Part One to explore calculus and beyond. Learn about the history and development of calculus, discover the origins of mathematical symbols, and explore complex concepts like computational reducibility in integral forms. Gain insights into the human approach to solving integrals and witness Wolfram's problem-solving process, including common errors. Access the accompanying notebook for a deeper understanding of the topics covered in this 2-hour 38-minute video, which includes a review of Part One, an extensive discussion on calculus, and answers to various mathematical questions.

Part One review
Calculus story
Where do the symbols +, -, *, and / come from?
Is square root of 3 within the real number?
What determines those special cases for which there are "computational reducibility" for integral forms, from where there aren't any, and as opposed to differentiation, at a most fundamental level?
So happy to see even Wolfram himself gets the same errors as me
How do humans manage to do integrals?
