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
This section builds the foundation for calculus by introducing functions, graphs, limits, and continuity.
- Functions and Graph
- Domain and Range
- Types of Functions
- Limits
- Continuity and Discontinuity
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.
