Differential calculus

Differential calculus is a branch of mathematics concerned with the determination, properties, and application of derivatives and differentials. In broader terms, these are concerned with the rate at which quantities change.

We will not go into much detail explaining this topic as it's vast and there are various internet resources for those unfamiliar with it. However, people with a strong math background will find themselves at home while discussing some of the problems.

For working with differential calculus, we will be using the Julia package Calculus.jl. Let's install the package and then start exploring its functions:
