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.
