Calculus is a branch of mathematics developed independently by Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibniz in the 17th century to study change. It has two main branches: differential calculus deals with derivatives and their applications, while integral calculus identifies volumes, areas, and solutions to equations. Calculus is widely used in engineering fields like electrical, civil, structural, mechanical, and aerospace engineering for tasks like fluid mechanics analysis, structural design, thermodynamics, and gravitational modeling. It allows engineers to determine values like work, area, volume, gradient, and surface area to solve complex problems.

CALCULUS

What is calculus:
A particular method or system of calculation or reasoning.
Calculus, defined as the mathematical study of change, was
developed independently by Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm
von Leibniz in the 17th century. The methods of calculus is
particularly useful in the practice of engineering, and are
generally used for optimization and summation, respectively

Types of Calculus:
Calculus consists of two main branches called differential and
integral calculus. Differential calculus deals with derivatives and
their applications. Integral calculus implies a form of
mathematics that identifies volumes, areas and solutions to
equations.

The Use of Calculus in Engineering:


1. Electrical & Electronics Engineering:
Integration and differential are most important concept
in electronics Calculating voltage or current through
capacitor require both integral and differential calculus.
Differential calculus is procedure of finding derivatives.

2. Civil Engineering:
Many aspects of civil engineering require calculus. Firstly,
derivation of the basic fluid mechanics equations requires calculus.
For example, all hydraulic analysis programs, which aid in the
design of storm drain and open channel systems, use calculus
numerical methods to obtain the results

3. Structural Engineering:
In structural engineering, calculus is used to determine the
forces in complex configurations of structural elements. In a
soil structure context, calculations of bearing capacity and
shear strength of soil are done using calculus

4. Mechanical engineering:
calculus are found in mechanical engineering such Newton's
law of cooling is a governing differential equation in HVAC
design that requires integration to solve.

5. Aerospace Engineering :
Analysis of rockets that function in stages requires calculus,
as does gravitational modeling over time and space.

Uses of Calculus:
Calculus has numerous real-world applications. When there is a
more complex problem to solve or it involves unusual shapes or
sizes, calculus becomes the tool to arrive at the solution. For
example, if there is an unusual roof to be built such as the roofs
that extend over sports stadiums, the designers will utilize
calculus tools to plan for the size and strength of the structure.
For any professional trying to determine work, area, volume,
gradient, or surface area, calculus will provide the answer.

Conclusion:
Calculus is used to improve all engineering sector.
By using the method of Calculus , engineer can
Invention or discover.
