Calculus

Calculus

A branch of mathematics that looks at how things change, or how things add up, by breaking them into really small pieces.

Differential Calculus cuts things into small pieces to find how they change, so we can work out slopes, speed, etc

Integral Calculus joins (integrates) the small pieces together to find how much there is, so we can work out areas within curves, volumes, and more.
