Calculus

• Infinitesimal calculus

• Math of change
• The study of things that change
• Infinitesimal calculus allows us to study problems in which there are changes in the variables (or properties) involved in the problem. In other words, it allows us to mathematically describe changes. So, if we have a system that is changing, we can mathematically model it (or describe it) by using calculus.

It is not so easy to understand the difference between Algebra and Calculus. Let's try to explain it using an example in which we use math to study a physical problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MltYNJcCS14

Algebra problem: A car moves at a constant speed and goes 180 miles in 3 hours. How fast is it going?

Calculus problem: A car moves with variable speed. Its position is given by s(t) = (some formula). Find its speed as a function of time.
