The history of teaching Calculus is recent. Still, shortly after the creation of Calculus by Newton and Leibniz, it was taught at both the university and secondary levels. This chapter mainly focuses on the European history of Calculus teaching but includes notices on the United States and Brazil. It documents some major approaches, suggestions, debates, and changes in this history from the eighteenth century to the relatively recent past, emphasizing key international movements and studies and simultaneously making use of these studies. Important sources for future research including the most influential Calculus textbooks are also listed.
