What is calculus?

Calculus originally meant mathematics.

Derived from the Latin calx (counter)
ancient Babylonians would use pebbles to
represent units, tens, hundreds, etc, on a
primitive abacus.
Later, defined as measuring varying rates
of change.

Calculus is
everywhere

The differentiation and integration methods of calculus have many

real-world applications from sports to engineering to astronomy
and space travel.

Yes!
Even in
Pizza!

Calculus in the engineering field

Calculus initially developed for better navigation system.
Engineers use calculus for building skyscrapers , bridges.
In robotics calculus is used how robotic parts will work
on given command.
Electrical and Computer engineers use calculus for
system design.
Calculus is used to improve safety of vehicles.

Calculus in Biology
To study the interaction of different
species within an ecosystem calculus
is used.
The concentration of drugs in a living
organism can be answered with calculus.
Physical attributes, such as backbone length
and skull length measured by calculus.
Calculus is used for measuring growth rate
of bacteria and certain species.

Calculus in Science
Isaac Newtondeveloped the use of calculus
in hislaws of motionand gravitation.
Astronomical science deeply depend on calculus.
Space technology use calculus in many ways.
Calculus is used to build tracks.

Calculus in Economics
Functions and derivatives of calculus are relate
to relevant concepts in economics.
Economic research uses calculus functional relationships,
relation of income , market prediction etc.
Differentiation is used to find optimum solutions of
economics.
Calculus also used for max efficiency or products or to
minimize their costs.
Credit card companies use calculus for monthly payments.

Calculus in other fields

Business and politicians often conduct surveys
with the help of calculus.
Investment plans do not pass before mathematicians
approves.
Doctors often use calculus in the estimation of the
progression of the illness.
Global mapping is done with the help of calculus.
Calculus also used to solve paradoxes.

An example of the use of calculus in real life is the

following.
2. Write the formula that
relates the variables in the
problem: x, y, and s.
3. Differentiate with respect to t.

4. Use the Pythagorean

Theorem again to solve for s.

1.List all given rates and the

unkown rate.
5. Substitute into the
differentiation result and
solve for ds/dt.
