Definition and Main Branches
-
Calculus studies change and accumulation using derivatives and integrals.
-
Differential Calculus: Focuses on the rate of change of functions.
- Derivative: Indicates the slope of the tangent line at a point on a curve.
- Rules of Differentiation: Include product rule, quotient rule, and chain rule.
- Applications: Used for optimization (finding maxima and minima) and function analysis (growth and decay).
-
Integral Calculus: Concentrates on accumulation and the area under curves.
- Definite Integral: Measures the area under a function within a specified interval.
- Indefinite Integral: Represents a family of functions for which the given function is the derivative.
- Fundamental Theorem of Calculus: Establishes a connection between derivatives and integrals.
- Methods of Integration: Techniques include substitution, integration by parts, and improper integrals.
Key Concepts
-
Limits: Essential for defining derivatives and integrals.
- Limit of a Function: Describes the behavior of f(x) as x approaches a specific value.
- Continuity: A function is continuous if it has no jumps or discontinuities within its domain.
Applications of Calculus
- Applied in physics for motion, velocity, and acceleration.
- In economics, utilized for marginal costs and maximizing profits.
- In biology, assists in modeling population growth and diffusion processes.
Important Theorems
- Rolle's Theorem: States that if a function is continuous on a closed interval and differentiable on the open interval, there is at least one point where the derivative equals zero.
- Mean Value Theorem: Connects average change over an interval to instantaneous change at some point within that interval.
