Because I spend most of my time in the recording studio.

When I'm not networking with others and learning about new music, I
find digital philosophy and digital physics to be interesting, two
emerging fields that happens to leave calculus in the history section.

I won't ever have to work in physics. Why shouldn't I take a chance and
start with the fertile ground for exploration, having the luxary to do
so?

After all, Leibniz invented calculus independently of Newton, and when
you do calculus, you are using Leibniz's notion, not Newton's.

And Leibniz was able to envision another type of mathematics, which
most people are realizing now exists in the form of computer programs.

And he thought that's the basis of the universe. Not calculus, or
anything born from it.
