The
Antikythera mechanism, a device for calculating the movements of planets, dates from about 80 BC, and was the first ancestor of the astronomical computer. It was discovered in an ancient shipwreck off the Greek island of Antikythera, between Kythera and Crete. The device became famous for its use of a differential gear,
previously believed to have been invented in the 16th century, and the miniaturization and complexity of its parts, comparable to a clock made in the 18th century.

The above mentioned Eudoxus and the Archimedes anticipated modern calculus. It is that their methods of precursor calculus were transferred from Greece to the China, Middle East and India. Some advances were done, but nowhere close to that of Newton and Leibniz who invented modern calculus.

Eudoxus theory of real numbers anticipated that of 18th century Dedekind.
