    This lecture on calculus fundamentals covered key concepts like differentiation, integration, and their applications. Differentiation allows calculating rates of change and uses rules like product, chain, and power. Integration calculates accumulated quantities and areas using techniques like substitution and integration by parts. Calculus has wide applications in physics, economics, and engineering for optimization, related rates, and modeling with differential equations. The lecture also briefly introduced multivariable calculus and using technology for visualization and approximations in calculus. Active practice is emphasized to fully master calculus concepts beyond this introductory overview.
