Practical Applications

Calculus in Economics and Business

Calculus in the World of Money

Calculus isn’t just for scientists—it’s a secret weapon in economics and business!

Marginal Analysis

Businesses use derivatives to calculate marginal cost and marginal revenue—the cost/revenue of making or selling one more product.

Optimization

Calculus finds the best price, maximum profit, or minimum cost by finding where the derivative (rate of change) is zero.

Accumulating Wealth

Integrals help calculate total profit or accumulated interest over time.

Examples

  • A company uses calculus to decide how many products to make for maximum profit.

  • Banks use integration to figure out total interest earned over several years.
