Introduction to Calculus

The Foundation of Continuous


Change
What is Calculus?

• Calculus is the mathematical study of continuous change.


• Two main branches:
• - Differential Calculus: Concerned with rates of change.
• - Integral Calculus: Concerned with accumulation of quantities.
Differential Calculus

• Focuses on the concept of a derivative.


• - Derivative represents instantaneous rate of change.
• - Used to find slopes of curves, optimize functions, and model motion.
Integral Calculus

• Focuses on the concept of an integral.


• - Integral represents the area under a curve.
• - Used to compute total quantities like area, volume, and accumulated
change.
Fundamental Theorem of Calculus

• Links differential and integral calculus:


• - If F is an antiderivative of f, then:
• ∫ₐᵇ f(x) dx = F(b) - F(a)
• - Differentiation and integration are inverse processes.
Basic Rules of Differentiation

• Common rules:
• - Power Rule: d/dx[xⁿ] = nxⁿ⁻¹
• - Product Rule: d/dx[uv] = u'v + uv'
• - Quotient Rule: d/dx[u/v] = (u'v - uv')/v²
• - Chain Rule: d/dx[f(g(x))] = f'(g(x))g'(x)
Basic Rules of Integration

• Common rules:
• - ∫xⁿ dx = xⁿ⁺¹ / (n+1) + C (n ≠ -1)
• - ∫eˣ dx = eˣ + C
• - ∫1/x dx = ln|x| + C
• - Integration by parts and substitution are useful techniques.
Applications of Calculus

• Physics: Motion, force, energy.


• Engineering: Optimization, control systems.
• Economics: Cost, revenue, and profit modeling.
• Biology: Population models, rates of reaction.
Example - Derivative and Integral

• Derivative:
• - f(x) = x²
• - f'(x) = 2x
• Integral:
• - ∫x² dx = x³/3 + C
Summary

• Calculus is a powerful tool for understanding change and accumulation.


• It is foundational in science, engineering, and economics.
• Mastery of concepts like limits, derivatives, and integrals is key.
