CHAPTER 4: The Constants of Change 

REFLECTION 
By reading this whole chapter it took a minute for me to compose the exact word I wanted to say,
after a while I realized something, and I express this through the words “Nothing is permanent
only change itself”. As I read this chapter it enlightened me that numbers help to synthesize the
changes that we need to know which contributes information about the reality we are currently
in. For example, the "heat equation," which determines how heat flows through a conducting
body, is all about the rate of change of the body's temperature; and the "wave equation," which
governs the motion of waves in water, air, or other materials, is about the rate of change of the
height of the wave.  
According to one view, the universe obeys fixed, immutable laws, and everything exists
in a well-defined objective reality. The opposing view is that there is no objective reality; all is
flux, and all is change. Because of this ageless debate about rigid laws and flexible change.
Hence it wants us to realize that the two perceptions are just a shadow that hides something.
With the help of Isaac Newton who is the one offered a model of nature in the field of
Mathematics, based on the written essay of John Maynard Keynes he proclaims Newton as “the
Man, saw things differently”. This shows that Newton is the last great mind who looked out on
the visible and intellectual world with the same eyes as those who began to build our intellectual
inheritance. I learned from him that in his mathematics we can find the first significant step
toward a worldview that transcends and unites both rigid law and flexible flux. The universe may
appear to be a storm-tossed ocean of change and perfection was thought to be unblemished by
change. 
Because of this chapter, I was able to convince myself that Calculus, therefore substantial
contribution in providing a technique, which nowadays is called integration that allows us to
move from knowledge of acceleration at any instant to the knowledge of velocity. For instance,
the given example “The cannonball's motion”, illustrates three mathematical patterns determined
by a cannonball: height, velocity, and acceleration. It clearly stated there that we can solve the
given problem if we do not calculus we can then obtain knowledge of position at any instant. As
I previously stated, velocity is the rate at which a position changes. As I comprehend this, I
conclude that acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes. Calculus is a mathematical
technique created to address inquiries regarding rates of change. Offers a method for
determining rates differentiation, a process of transformation. Integration the impact of
distinction is "undone". 
An essential lesson is presented by Newton's law of motion: Specifically, the link
between natural laws and natural behavior that changes constantly does not need to be blunt and
obvious. Concerning our conduct, it is a crevice, in which the laws that generate it must be
observed, and only mathematical computations can cross the gap in the human mind. It is not
intended to imply that nature is mathematical. Although the sources of nature's regularities and
patterns vary, Math is, at the very least, an incredibly powerful tool for can help others
understand those patterns. By exploring Isaac Newton's fundamental discovery that change in
nature can be explained, all of the laws of physics that have since been found in mathematical
procedures are described, each a different rate of change equation. Since a rate of change is the
difference between a current amount and its value at some point in the future, differential
equations are those of this type. The word "differentiation" shares this antecedent. 
Always remember that the only constant in this world is changing and it is our
responsibility to explore and enhance the changes through the nature of numbers. Let's say we
should normalize and accept that numbers are part of our journey as human beings adjusting to
the constant changes brought to us by many forces.
