Medical Researchers Invent Area Under Curve

In 1994, Medical researchers invented a way to find the area under the curve (and the work has 335 citations). Math History A Mathematical Model for the Determination of Total Area Under Glucose Tolerance and Other Metabolic Curves

A screenshot presents a 1994 medical research paper titled “A Mathematical Model for the Determination of Total Area Under Glucose Tolerance and Other Metabolic Curves,” jokingly claiming that medical researchers invented a way to find the area under a curve. The punchline is that integration and the area under a curve were already established mathematical ideas, while the paper has an amusingly high citation count. It is shared as a reaction to exaggerated claims of invention or rediscovery.
