What word means any change of position?
motion
What is application of vector calculus in engineering?
It is used to position an object in3D
Explain the difference between a call option and a long position in a futures contract?
The only difference between a long call option and a long futures position is the derivative itself--one of them is an option, the other is a futures contract.
What is the maximum displacement of the vibration from equilibrium position?
The amplitude.The amplitude.The amplitude.The amplitude.
What is calculus and what does it have to do with?
Calculus is a branch of mathematics which came from the thoughts of many different individuals. For example, the Greek scholar Archimedes (287-212 B.C.) calculated the areas and volumes of complex shapes. Isaac Newton further developed the notion of calculus. There are two branches of calculus which are: differential calculus and integral calculus. The former seeks to describe the magnitude of the instantaneous rate of change of a graph, this is called the derivative. For example: the derivative of a position vs. time graph is a velocity vs. time graph, this is because the rate of change of position is velocity. The latter seeks to describe the area covered by a graph and is called the integral. For example: the integral of a velocity vs. time graph is the total displacement. Calculus is useful because the world is rarely static; it is a dynamic and complex place. Calculus is used to model real-world situations, or to extrapolate the change of variables.
