Most complex engineering problems cannot be solved without calculus. Force related problems are a great example - how else would you calculate the force exerted on a particle a specific distance from an electrically charged wire?

Yes, every field is an integral domain.


Mathematical field calculus?

Calculus is mainly about limits, which in turn are used to calculate the slope of a line (known as the "derivative"; lots of applications for that), and to calculate the area under a curve (the "integral" - also lots of applications for that). For more details, read the Wikipedia article on "Calculus", or read an introductory book on calculus. As prerequisites, you should be well-acquainted with high-school algebra.


Why is calculus so useful in science and engineering?

Speaking as someone who is in the engineering field i can tell you that calculus serves no purpose at all for me. Everything is just done with a calculator or a computer so it's all just a bunch of hogwash they put you through for Engineering school that you will never use in the real world unless you are to become a program writer or work in physics.


Who are the famous mathematicians in the field of calculus?

Leibniz and Newton are usually considered the most famous in the field of calculus.


Is it true that calculus is not one of isaac newton's contributions to the field of science?

No, but Newton and Liebnitz argued for years about which one of them developed the Calculus. There is some evidence that Liebnitz had seen Newton's early work on the Calculus. The fact is, Liebnitz rushed to publish his ideas, and Newton finally published his years later, although he did mention his Calculus as a sidenote in a much earlier publication. To Newton we can give thanks for inventing analytical fluxion type of the Calculus, and to Liebnitz the differential/integral type of the Calculus.


How is calculus used?

Calculus is used a lot in business decisions. I am a Business Administration major. An examples is the break-even point in calculus. You need to know how to do this in business so you know how much of a product that you need to sell in order to cover your cost. Hope this helps some. +++ That is just one field, but Calculus is used in a huge range of scientific and engineering problems.


What is the meaning of maxwell equation?

Maxwells equations are a set of 4 equations that explain the fundamentals of Electricity and Magnetism. They read like this. 1. The Closed integral of Electric Field with Respect to Area is equal to Enclosed Charge over epsilon not. 2. The Closed integral of Magnetic field is equal to zero. 3. The Closed integral of Electric Field with repsect to distance is equal to the negative derivitive of magnetic flux with respect to time. 4. The Closed integral of Magnetic Field with respect to distance is equal to the quantity of mu not times enclosed current plus the quantity of epsilon not mu not times the derivitive of Electric Flux with respect to time. In order to really understand the applications of these equations, I would suggest taking an entire calculus based physics course on Electricity and Magnetism, as well as a Calculus Course.


What training is needed for aerospace engineering?

For engineering fields, mathematics. If you do not understand calculus by the end of your first year of college, then it is time to change majors. It would be help to have studied calculus in high school in your senior year. In my first year of AE, my first quarter was the entire year of pre-calculus in high school.
