Overview
In this chapter, you will learn to calculate the derivatives of functions at a given value of x. You'll also learn to calculate the integrals of functions between given values and use derivation to solve optimization problems, such as maximizing profit or minimizing cost. By the end of this chapter, you will be able to use calculus to solve a range of mathematical problems.
Calculus has been called the science of change, since its tools were developed to deal with constantly changing values such as the position and velocity of planets and projectiles. Previously, there was no way to express this kind of change in a variable.
The first important topic in calculus is the derivative ...
