    Differential Calculus

    The study of instantaneous rates of change, such as the velocity of a moving object at a specific moment in time.

    Integral Calculus

    The study of accumulating quantities, such as the total distance traveled by an object over a certain period of time.

    Calculus

    A branch of mathematics that deals with continuous change, involving concepts such as rates of change, area, and volume.

    Function

    A rule or relationship that assigns exactly one output value to each input value.
