What else can I help you with?
What are the practical applications of limits of function?
well derivatives cannt be used without limits so it is application for calculus
What is the History of differential calculus?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_calculus Have a look at this wikipedia article. It has a great history of calculus.
Why is calculus described as understanding something by looking at small pieces?
Both derivatives and integrals - two of the most important concepts in calculus - are defined in terms of limits; specifically, what happens when something gets smaller and smaller.
What is mathematical analysis?
Analysis can be thought of as a continuation of calculus. It deals with topics such as measure, limits, and integration/differentiation, and spaces (such as metric spaces).
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.
What are the foundation of differential calculus and integral calculus?
The foundation, in both cases, is the concept of limits. Calculus may be said to be the "study of limits". You can apply a lot of calculus in practice without worrying too much about limits; but then we would be talking about practical applications, not about the foundation.
What do you learn in calculus?
In Calculus, you learn Limits, Derivatives, Anti-Derivatives and all their applications!
What is limits in calculus?
In calculus, a limit is a value that a function or sequence approaches as the input values get closer and closer to a particular point or as the sequence progresses to infinity. It is used to define continuity, derivatives, and integrals, among other concepts in calculus. Calculus would not be possible without the concept of limits.
Is Elementary Calculus the same as Pre-Calculus?
In short, no. Elementary calculus includes finding limits, basic differentiation and integration, dealing with sequences and series, and simple vector operations, among other concepts. Pre-calculus mostly focuses on the algebra necessary to perform those operations, with perhaps some introduction to limits or other simple ideas from elementary calculus.

What are the related lessons in basic calculus?
Basic calculus usually starts with limits. After that you continue with derivatives, and eventually you get to do integration.
Is calculus anything to do with algebra?
Yes; in a larger view of calculus (small stones used for counting) it deals with the abstract aspects of various mathematics, usually functions and limits, Calculus is the study of change.
Does discrete math incorporate concepts from calculus?
No, discrete math does not incorporate concepts from calculus. Discrete math focuses on mathematical structures that are distinct and separate, such as integers, graphs, and sets, while calculus deals with continuous functions and limits.
When was calculus first developed?
Based on the history, calculus was first developed by Sir Issac Newton in 1665-1667.
What is the difference between Newton and Leibniz calculus?
The difference between Leibniz calculus to Newton calculus was that Leibniz developed Newton's calculus into the calculus we all know today. For instance, diffentiation and intergration, limits, continuity, etc. This type of calculus was the pure mathematics. On the otherhand, the calculus which Newton found was that used in physics, such as speed and velocity which helped with physics greatly. Today, calculus not only used in just mathematics or physics, but used in finance, as well as exploited in engineering.
What is a calaculus?
Calculus is a branch of mathematics focused on limits, functions, derivatives, integrals, and infinite series. There are two major branches, integral calculus and differential calculus, which are related by the fundamental theorem of calculus.To perform most calculations in calculus, one typically needs a computer or a calculator.There is an article on calculus in the Journal of Irreproducible Results that explains this more fully.
