Study of continuous change through derivatives and integrals.

Study Strategies

Checking Your Work

Always Double-Check!

After solving a calculus problem, go back and substitute your answer to see if it makes sense. For derivatives, try a quick sketch to check slopes. For integrals, differentiate your answer to see if you get the original function.

Examples

  • Differentiating your antiderivative to ensure you found the correct integral.

  • Re-reading a word problem to make sure you answered the original question.
