It cannot be the guy for calculus, it has to be the guy for the algebraic functions. I also need the source in which you found the answer from, I will not look at your answer unless the source is to be included. Once again thank you for your help and coperation!

Answer 1

It was Leonhard Euler. Wikipedia cites:
Dunham, William (1999). Euler: The Master of Us All. The Mathematical Association of America, 17.

There are probably other sources - I remember it from a high school textbook (which didn't cite a source, heh).
