Welcome to the fascinating world of calculus! Calculus is a branch of mathematics that studies continuous change. It has two major branches, differential calculus and integral calculus, which are related by the fundamental theorem of calculus.
Key Concepts
- Derivatives: Measures the rate at which a quantity changes. Think of it as the slope of a curve.
- Integrals: Measures the total accumulation of quantities, such as areas under a curve.
Applications
Calculus is widely used in science, engineering, and economics. For instance, it helps in predicting planetary orbits, understanding biological processes, and optimizing business strategies.
