To a great extent, differential calculus is concerned with the slopes of curves - or with things that can be graphically represented as slopes, such as speed (the speed graph is a curve in a distance vs. time graph).

It is a branch of mathematics dealing with the rates of change - particularly the rate of change in one variable (y) associated with an increasingly small rate of change in the other (x).

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


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.
