Leibniz used integration as a sum and used infinitesimals dx and dy where Newton used y’ and x’. Newton also considered calculus as geometrical where as Leibniz looked at it as analytical. Both often expressed thought in terms of graphs not as functions which is what is done today. Newton also considered variables changing with time while Leibniz thought of variables as x, y as ranging over sequences of infinitely close values. He knew that dy/dx gives the tangent but did not use it as a defining property. Newton had this tendency to write for himself, ...
