Calculus (Latin, calculus, a small stone used for counting) is a branch in mathematics focused on limits, functions, derivatives, integrals, and infinite series. This subject constitutes a major part of modern mathematics education. It has two major branches, differential calculus and integral calculus, which are related by the fundamental theorem of calculus. Calculus is the study of change, in the same way that geometry is the study of shape and algebra is the study of operations and their application to solving equations. A course in calculus is a gateway to other, more advanced courses in mathematics devoted to the study of functions and limits, broadly called mathematical analysis. Calculus has widespread applications in science, economics, and engineering and can solve many problems for which algebra alone is insufficient. Historically, calculus was called "the calculus of infinitesimals", or "infinitesimal calculus". More generally, calculus (plural calculi) may refer to any method or system of calculation guided by the symbolic manipulation of expressions. Some examples of other well-known calculi are propositional calculus, variational calculus, lambda calculus, pi calculus and join calculus. From Wikipedia under the

Q. I will be teaching Calculus I with Analytic Geometry this semester (College Level). I am planning on spending three to four class periods reviewing algebra concepts. Coming off a summer break, I think it's a good idea to review. Asked by Lazy Eight ( ) - Thu Aug 20 16:19:13 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. I would say none if it's at the college level. They can do there own review. But to be nice I would do a class period doing some algebra review. Answered by twn - Thu Aug 20 16:30:18 2009 What is the difference between calculus and regular math? Q. In about a paragraph can you explain how calculus is different from regular math? Why do we need to take about a year of pre calculus to prepare for calculus? Asked by LiLa - Mon Aug 24 21:50:05 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. Calculus deals with slopes of functions at any given point(derivatives), as well as area under the curve (integrals). Calculus is usually broken into 4 years. Calc 1 (using limits to find derivatives, other ways of finding derivatives, fundamental theorem(s) of calculus, applications of integrals and derivatives) Calc 2 (more ways to integrate. integration and derivatives of polar functions) Calc 3 (Multi-variable calculus) Calc 4 (Differential equations) Pre calculus is a rigorous course to prepare students for the abstract thinking needed to succeed in Calculus, as well as strengthen their foundation on commonly used mathematical skills. Answered by Mr. Math - Fri Aug 28 16:50:32 2009 How do you study calculus and retain the information you learn?
Q. I'm taking my second calculus class this semester and I can't seem to remember anything from the first one, or to retain anything new. Math has never been my strongest subject, but I've always managed to do fairly well. I can't seem to do even that much now. How do you study calculus? How do you retain the information from one math class to another, and when using it in other disciplines? Asked by second spring - Fri Sep 11 22:23:24 2009 - - 10 Answers - 0 Comments A. Hello. This is a very common question, and actually, in my opinion, it is rarely ever addressed properly. The problem is that people try to study math like they would a history class. They try to memorize all of the formulas letter for letter and don't give it a second thought. This is obviously wrong (although, admittedly, this is a bad way to study history, as well) - math is NOT memorization - it is about problem solving. You take some concepts that you know and apply them generally to NEW problems and ideas. So, you should understand the concepts behind what you are doing in class - you must understand what your formulas actually mean and decide how to apply them.
