| What is Calculus? Calculus is the study of 'Rates of Change'. Calculus as we know it today was developed in the later half of the seventeenth century by two mathematicians, Gottfried Leibniz and Isaac Newton. There are two main branches of calculus: Differential Calculus and Integral Calculus. Differential calculus determines the rate of change of a quantity, integral calculus finds the quantity where the rate of change is known. |
| What will we cover? This is the first course of a three-semester sequence (MATH 1401, 2411, 2421) in calculus. Topics covered include limits, derivatives, applications of derivatives, and the definite integral. This amounts to the first six chapters of the book. The first chapter will be covered very quickly as it is mostly review material. If chapter 1 is not review, then this may not be the place for you! |
