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 regular calculus?

I think by "regular calculus" it is meant simple derivatives and integrations. Regular calculus would be first year calculus probably not including multi-variable calculus or calculus of variations or vector calculus. Wikipedia gives a good explanation of calculus. If you want to sound smart, call it "The Calculus". It is the study of the rate of change (how things change, in relation to other things, often time) In most Universities, regular calculus are the standard analysis of Calculus, concentrating more on the application of it rather than the concept. in comparison is either called "advanced calculus" or in my U, "Honours Calculus" which takes analysis to a whole new level. Both first year course, but the advanced one concentrates on the understanding of concepts, theorems rather than applications alone. It comes in the form of "mathematical proof". Regular Calculus does proofs too, but not as often. --------------------------------------------- Regular calculus is most probably calculus taught in high school or university level, which is simple, mostly single-variable calculus. But then, there are also different calculi called non-Newtonian calculi. These are the non-standard, non-regular calculi, in which different operators are defined. For example, "regular calculus" might mean an additive calculus (where the integral is defined by adding up extremely small pieces), while an integral in multiplicative calculus might involve multiplying infinitely many pieces close to 1.


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.


How do you use Calculus in a sentence?

My Calculus class is in third period. Calculus is a noun


Which is harder differential calculus or integral calculus?

Im still taking Integral Calculus now, but for me, if you dont know Differential Calculus you will not know Integral Calculus, because Integral Calculus need Differential. So, as an answer to that question, ITS FAIR


Who started calculus?

there was no sure answer about who started calculus but it was Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz who founded calculus because of their fundamental theorem of calculus.

What do you need to know to do beginner calculus?

Set notation, interval notation, some knowledge about logical statements and mathematical proof. Knowledge on sequences, functions, trignometry, exponential and logrithimic are assets as when you get deeper into Calculus you do have formal definitions for them.

You need to have some knowledge in Calculus II, but the arguments are very simple. See the link above:

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.
