Curiously...when I studied history of mathematics...i was informed that Newton was referring to Archimedes ( shoulder of the giant) when he said this....

especially when the method of exhaustion used by archimedes was the pre-cursor to calculus

...a lot of people belief that archimedes probably would have 'worked-out' various aspect of modern calculus if he hadn't been killed
