Posted in Indroduction at 12:16 pm by Anu

Calculus is a branch of mathematics which deals with limits, functions, derivatives, integrals, and infinite series. This subject constitutes a major part of modern mathematics education. It has two branches
1)differential calculus
2)integral calculus,
which are related by the fundamental theorem of calculus. Calculus is the study of change,in the same way that geometry is the study of shape and algebra is the study of operations and their application to solving equations. Calculus has vast applications in science, economics, and engineering and it can also solve many problems for which algebra alone is insufficient.
