Calculus, developed by Newton and Leibniz, is the branch of mathematics that helps us study how quantities change and how they accumulate. It allows us to understand motion, growth, rates, and areas under curves.
Calculus has two main parts:
- Differential Calculus – the study of derivatives and rates of change
- Integral Calculus – the study of accumulation, areas, and total values
Basics of Calculus
This section builds the foundation for calculus by introducing functions, graphs, limits, and continuity.
Differential Calculus
Differential calculus focuses on the concept of derivatives, which measure how a function changes at any point. This section covers basic rules, formulas, and real-life applications.
