Mechatronics course..someone asked me "why do we need to study calculus".how to reply
So we're mechatronics 1st year, we're about to start our second semester just having finished statics WITHOUT calculus. I presume this semester we're starting on Calculus. My classmate grudgingly asked me why do we even need to study calculus. Now, I know that Calculus is the math of change, but I'm not sure how to give him a proper reply as we haven't practiced the use of calculus and how it applies to machines or mechatronics. Can you guys give me a reply I can have for him?
