3. What is calculus?
Calculus originally meant “mathematics”.
Derived from the Latin “calx” (counter) – ancient Babylonians would
use pebbles to represent units, tens, hundreds, etc, on a primitive
abacus.
Later, defined as measuring varying rates of change.
4. Calculus is everywhere
The differentiation and integration of calculus have many
real-world applications from sports to engineering to astronomy
and space travel.
5. Calculus in the engineering
field
Calculus initially developed for better navigation system.
Engineers use calculus for building skyscrapers , bridges.
In robotics calculus is used how robotic parts will work
on given command.
Electrical and Computer engineers use calculus for
system design.
Calculus is used to improve safety of vehicles.
6. Calculus in Biology
To study the interaction of different
species within an ecosystem calculus
is used.
The concentration of drugs in a living
organism can be answered with calculus.
Physical attributes, such as backbone length
and skull length measured by calculus.
Calculus is used for measuring growth rate
of bacteria and certain species.
7. Calculus in Science
• Isaac Newton developed the use of calculus
in his laws of motion and gravitation.
• Astronomical science deeply depend on calculus.
• Space technology use calculus in many ways.
• Calculus is used to build tracks.
8. Calculus in Economics
• Functions and derivatives of calculus are relate
to relevant concepts in economics.
• Economic research uses calculus functional relationships,
relation of income , market prediction etc.
• Differentiation is used to find optimum solutions of economics.
• Calculus also used for max efficiency or products or to
minimize their costs.
• Credit card companies use calculus for monthly payments.
9. Calculus in other fields
• Business and politicians often conduct surveys
with the help of calculus.
• Investment plans do not pass before mathematicians
approves.
• Doctors often use calculus in the estimation of the
progression of the illness.
• Global mapping is done with the help of calculus.
• Calculus also used to solve paradoxes.
