Calculus

Calculus is a key area of mathematics that focuses on change and motion, primarily through differentiation and integration. Differentiation helps determine the rate of change, while integration accumulates quantities, such as area under a curve. These concepts are vital for solving complex problems in various fields, including physics and economics.

Basic Calculus
A Journey Through the Fundamental Concepts of
Derivatives and Integrals

Introduction to Basic Calculus


Calculus is a fundamental branch of mathematics that focuses on the concepts of change
and motion. At its core, calculus is divided into two main areas: differentiation and
integration. Differentiation involves finding the rate at which a quantity changes, often
represented by the derivative of a function. This is useful in a wide range of applications, from
calculating velocity in physics to determining marginal costs in economics. Integration, on the
other hand, deals with the accumulation of quantities, such as area under a curve, and is
often conceptualized as the reverse process of differentiation. Together, these concepts
enable us to solve complex problems involving dynamic systems and continuous change,
making calculus an essential tool in both the natural and social sciences.
