by

Infinitesimal Calculus – Integral Calculus Originally, integral calculus was developed to calculate the surface area underneath the curve of a function. In general, integral calculus is a method to calculate the sum of infinite elements of a function within a continuous space. Using integral calculus, an infinitely large number of infinitely small areas are added … Read more

Discovery Science: Mathematics – Differential Calculus

by

Mathematics – Differential Calculus Differential calculus, founded in part by Sir Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, describes the behavior of a function in infinitely small parts. The information available about, for instance, a hike up a mountain to a certain height above sea level is usually of interest to a hiker, but perhaps how … Read more
