Calculus

Calculus is a branch of mathematics focused on change and motion, dealing primarily with functions, limits, derivatives, and integrals. It provides tools to analyze how quantities vary and to solve problems related to rates of change, areas under curves, and accumulated quantities. Developed by Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz in the 17th century, calculus is fundamental in various fields including physics, engineering, economics, and computer science, enabling precise modeling and problem-solving in dynamic systems.
