CLEP Calculus offers students the opportunity to demonstrate their understanding of calculus concepts and applications, enabling them to earn college credit.
Calculus helps analyze everything from how medicines dissolve to how populations grow.
Differential equations (which use derivatives) describe how populations change over time.
Calculus models the rate at which drugs enter and leave the bloodstream, or how fast a tumor grows or shrinks.
Exponential growth and decay, described by calculus, are found everywhere in biology.
Doctors use calculus to predict how quickly a medicine will take effect.
Ecologists model animal populations using differential equations.
