Calculus (Latin, calculus, a small stone used for counting) is a discipline 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

From Google News Search: "Calculus" What is calculus and differential equations and how are they used? Q. I graduated with a degree in math. I took four semesters of calculus, plus differential equations. I can do the math with A's, but I still have no idea exactly what calculus and differential equations ARE and why you would use them. Asked by bamakathy - Mon Jan 14 11:36:08 2008 - - 2 Answers - 1 Comments A. Calculus is the mathematics of infinitesimal change. Since you're familiar with calculus, for example, "dy/dx" means the instantaneous rate of change in y with respect to the instantaneous rate of change in x. Integrals, or "anti-derivatives" are sums of these infinitesimal parts. With them, you can find the areas under different curves and such. Differential equations are very useful for when you know quantities that are changing, or you're looking to solve something that's "in flux." I hope this helps. Answered by John - Mon Jan 14 11:42:51 2008 What is the best online calculus tutorial which is more advanced and comprehensive? Q. I am in college taking Calculus II and learning about Taylor series, convergence tests, remainder estimates, etc. etc. I am looking for an online site that can help me out, preferably with practice problems and solutions too. Comprehensiveness is a must, please don't give me sites that are very simple and only list the theorems and that's it. Thanks in advance.

Answered by Heart - Mon Nov 10 06:54:09 2008 How can I brush up on my college calculus?
Q. I took a 200 level calculus class 2 1/2 years ago but I'm transferring colleges and this one requires two semesters of calculus for my major instead of one like my old school. I don't want to take calculus over completely but I feel like I barely remember anything, and definitely not enough to jump into the next level of calculus. Is there something free and online that I can do to brush up on Calculus I topics?
