Calculus Quiz

Calculus = Mathematical study of continuous change Differential Calculus = Concerns instantaneous rates of change and the slopes of curves Integral Calculus = Concerns accumulation of quantities and areas under or between curves Fundamental Theorem of Calculus = Relates the two major branches of calculus to each other

Isaac Newton = Developed infinitesimal calculus independently in the late 17th century Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz = Developed infinitesimal calculus independently in the late 17th century Later work = Codified the idea of limits, put these developments on a more solid conceptual footing
