Calculus

Calculus is the science of approximating and even computing exactly, measurements of curved things by means of known measurements of straight things.

Slopes of curves are measured in terms of slopes of lines, areas and volumes of curved surfaces like spheres are measured in terms of measurements of planes and simpler curved objects like cylinders and and cones.

Common topics are elementary functions, calculating limits, derivatives and integrals.

Optimization problems and Homework help is available in the homework forums.
