>mfw a "scientist" discovered integral calculus in 1993, renamed it the "Tai Model", had his work published by a scientific journal and has been cited by several other scientific articles ever since.

it could be some fancy numerical method, not all integrals can be solved
similarly some arbitrary graph might be pretty hard to model analytically so it could be some method for that

also this news is ancient and has been posted here 1000000+ times already

bullshit

I've seen this here before. Anyway, numerical methods far more sophisticated than this one have been known for centuries.

bitch please, I've seen that article posted on the old /r9k/ it's that old

not even motherfucking newton had such a large ego as to name his mathematical developments with his own name

It was a numerical method, the trapezoid rule. The oldest and simpliest method that exists.

I thought the problem here is that he actually got published and cited.

It's a she and yes that's the worst bit of it. I'm surprised it's still there in all honesty.

I have not seen this before and am completely blown away
