Calculus is central
branch of mathematics, developed from algebra
and geometry.
It is built on two major complementary ideas, both of which rely critically
on the concept of limits. The first is differential
calculus, which is concerned with the instantaneous rate of
change of quantities with respect to other quantities, or more precisely, the
local behavior of functions. This can be illustrated by the slope of a
function's graph. The second is integral calculus,
which studies the accumulation of quantities, such as areas under a curve, linear
distance
traveled, or volume
displaced. These two processes act inversely to each other, as shown by the fundamental theorem of calculus.
Today, calculus is used in every branch of the physical
sciences, in computer
science, in statistics, and in engineering;
in economics,
business,
and medicine;
and as a general method whenever the goal is an optimal solution to a problem that can
be given in mathematical form. (From the Wikipedia
