1684: Leibniz “Novo methodus”
1687: Newton “Principia”

But can we solve the calculus discovery controversy with a cookie tiebreaker?

1891: Leibniz cookies invented en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leibniz-…
1891: Fig Newtons invented en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newtons_…

Unbelievable. STILL TIED.

@janl thank you for understanding how worked up I got about this. These two cookies were independently developed. An ocean apart. Two different continents. ALERT THE HISTORIANS

* they make Leibniz cookies with chocolate (they are the only variants that we get here in Italy)
* Leibniz notation is much clearer and easy to extend than Newton's

to me there is a clear winner

@valhalla you'll get no argument from me, fig newtons are nasty and really do not deserve to be called a "cookie".

(They are actually named after Newton, Massachusetts rather than Sir Isaac. Details)
