Calculus

Welcome to the Calculus forum!

Calculus is a branch of mathematics that focuses on the study of continuous change and motion.

It comprises two primary branches: differential calculus, which examines rates of change and slopes of curves, and integral calculus, which deals with accumulation and the calculation of areas under curves. Developed independently by Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz in the 17th century, calculus has become a fundamental tool in various scientific and engineering disciplines.

It provides a powerful framework for analyzing and modeling dynamic processes, such as motion, growth, and decay, and forms the basis for understanding concepts like derivatives and integrals, essential for advanced mathematical and scientific studies.
