How much different would history be if Archimedes (288BC-212BC) invented calculus?

Checked.
Also, not different at all, to be entirely honest.

Toroidal geometry would be a mainstay feature of the educated mathematic repitoire rather than the farce it became in this timeline.

very different. Archimedes couldn't invent calculus because he was using the roman numeral number system which made doing math more difficult. Also, Algebra wasn't invented until like 900BC so calculus wouldn't be legit. Archimedes legit didn't have enough resources to be the thick cock isaac newton inventor of calculus.

Of course it would be different. Northern Europe would never overtake the Meds.

But he did. It just wasn't the formal calculus as we "see" today.

Calculus is just sticks and cubes between squiggly lines.
You don't even need numbers to demonstrate limits or integration

Read of recent finds a few years ago that some say would have advanced advancements if they were not lost. We could have been shitposting in world war two. Maybe this is some of it.

How about that time when Archimedes was murdered by some Roman grunt because Archimedes wanted to grabe a couple things before being taken into custody.

Not only them and before. Things were lost in WWII and afterwards, on a smaller scale. Guess it'll happen again. People are retarded.
