Calculus Concepts

The Power of Change

Calculus helps you understand how things change over time—whether it's speed, growth, or area under a curve. There are two main branches: differential and integral calculus.

Differential Calculus

This branch deals with rates of change. It answers questions like, "How fast is a car going at an exact moment?" The key tool is the derivative.

Integral Calculus

This branch is about accumulation, such as finding the area under a curve. The main tool here is the integral.

Why Calculus Rocks

Calculus is used in physics to describe motion, in biology to model populations, and in economics to optimize profits.

Getting Started

  • Learn the rules for taking derivatives and integrals.
  • Practice applying them to real-world problems.

Try These

  • Find the derivative of \(f(x) = x^2\).
  • Compute the area under \(y = 3x\) from \(x=0\) to \(x=2\).

Examples

  • The slope of \(y = x^2\) at \(x = 3\) is \(6\).

  • The area under \(y = 3x\) from \(x=0\) to \(x=2\) is \(6\).

In a Nutshell

Calculus is the mathematics of change, covering derivatives and integrals.
