Calculus
Defining it
Derivatives
Integrals
Applications
Derivatives represent the rate of change of a function with respect to a determined variable.
An integral is a numerical value that equals to the area under a graph of a certain function for a specific interval.
It studies the rates of change caused by time or other reference variables, this in order to gain a better and clearer understanding of the meaning of an operation as a part of a problem.
Theorems
The Mean Value Theorem for Integrals says that a continuous function on a closed interval takes on its average value at some point in that interval. We state this theorem mathematically with the help of the formula for the average value of a function.
It can be useful to obtain the original funtion of a derivative.

To launch an exploratory probe, it allows each of those variables to accurately take into account the orbiting velocities under the gravitational influences of the sun and the moon.
Integral and differential calculus are used in electrical engineering for calculating voltage or current through a capacitor.

It study it by modeling and using the ´rates of change´ equations that will allow the physical system to be represented, an analysis made and a solution formed under defined conditions.
Main concepts
Differential Calculus
Integral Calculus
Limits
Multivariable Calculus
Are values that a function or sequence “approaches” as the index or input “approaches” some specific value may be finite or infinite.
It deals with the rate of change of one quantity concerning another. The derivative of a function at a certain point describes the rate of change of the function at that input.
Integrals can be categorized into two types namely definite integral and indefinite integral. However, integration is the reverse process of differentiation.
Is the extension of calculus functions of one variable to calculus with functions of several variables. Also, the differentiation and integration operations will be performed on functions involving several variables, rather than just one.
Relationships
The derivative and integral are linked in that they are both defined via the concept of the limit: they are inverse operations of each other: and they are both fundamental to much of modern science as we know it.
That a derivative and an integral are opposites of each other. A derivative, is the slope of a function at any given point. An integral, is the area under the curve over a certain interval.
The Evaluation theorem states that if we can find an antiderivative for the integrand, then we can evaluate the definite integral by evaluating the antiderivative at the endpoints of the interval and substracting.
