Calculus 1

Calculus 1 introduces the fundamental concepts of limits, derivatives, and integrals, providing a foundation for advanced mathematical studies.

Practical Applications

Calculus in Economics and Biology

How Is Calculus Used in Economics and Biology?

  • Economics: Derivatives help find the best price for products and predict trends. Integrals total up profits or costs over time.
  • Biology: Calculus models population growth or how medicine spreads in the body.

Real-World Impact

Calculus helps businesses make smart decisions and helps doctors understand how diseases spread.

Cool Fact

Logistic growth models in biology use calculus to predict when a population will level off.

Examples

  • Businesses use derivatives to determine when to increase production.

  • Biologists use integrals to measure total population growth over time.
