In a nutshell, calculus is the mathematical study of change. Algebra covers mainly linear applications like velocity = distance divided by time. Calculus is used to find the instantaneous velocity of a ball thrown 6 feet in the air as it is falling, paused in time at 4 feet up (the velocity is getting faster as the ball comes down, so you need calculus equations and techniques to figure this out).

What is a one word synonym for calculus?
The term calculus is a branch of mathematics. A synonym might be differentiation.The term calculus in medicine means a stone (kidney stone, gallstone).
What does palladium plus mean?
It means that it is missing an electron. Why is this in calculus??
What is a proof in calculus?
A proof in calculus is when it will make a statement, such as: If y=cos3x, then y'''=18sin3x. Then it will tell you to do a proof. This means you have to solve the equation step by step, coming to the solution, which should be the same as in the statement. If you do come to the same answer as in the statement, then you just correctly did a calculus proof.
What is the plural form of calculus?
There are several meanings to the word 'calculus.' The plural for calculus is 'calculi.' There is no plural for the calculus we use in mathematics.

What is the relation of gravity with calculus?
Gravity is a force, which means that it has a corresponding acceleration (rate of rate of change). Because calculus is the study of rates of change, accelerations are studied in calculus.
What does palladium mean?
It means that it is missing an electron. Why is this in calculus??
How does calculus apply to you?
All electronic devices would not exist without calculus. Engineers would be able to do nothing without calculus, which means everything that we have that we owe to engineers, we owe to calculus as well. Physics would not exist beyond the high school level (which is trigonometry based) without calculus. If you asked this question to help you with a school assignment, here's a good common saying you can use: Calculus is the language of physics. Applied chemistry requires calculus, which means that everything that we owe to applied chemistry, we also owe to calculus.

What is the meaning of the Latin word calculus?
The Latin word calculus means "pebble". It is still used this way in medicine, where "calculus" can be used to refer to a kidney stone or gallstone, and by extension to the mineral buildup on teeth also called "tartar".The mathematical term "calculus" derives from the ancient use of pebbles as counters on counting tables (abacuses).
Which is harder calculus or applied calculus?
Calculus; by a long shot.
Is elementary calculus the same as calculus?
Pre-calculus refers to concepts that need to be learned before, or as a prerequisite to studying calculus, so no. First one studies pre-calculus then elementary calculus.
Which is harder calculus 1 or differential and integral calculus?
Just about all of calculus is based on differential and integral calculus, including Calculus 1! However, Calculus 1 is more likely to cover differential calculus, with integral calculus soon after. So there really isn't a right answer for this question.
What is a synonym for calculus?
Calculus is calculus. There isn't really another word for it.
