Category:Calculus

Calculus is a branch of mathematics that concerns limits, which are used to define derivatives (think: instantaneous velocity v(t) of a particle given a function s(t) that gives its position; v(t)=s'(t)), integrals, (think: distance traveled s(t) of a particle given its velocity function v(t) $$s(x) = \int_0^x v(t) dt$$) and differential equations which, if you'll pardon the expression, integrates these concepts to provide equations that govern physical processes based on their rates of change.
