How to Calculate Calculus
What is Calculus?
A calculus reference covering common derivative and integration rules, with worked examples. Calculus is the mathematics of continuous change, developed independently by Newton and Leibniz.
Formula
Step-by-Step Guide
- 1Derivative: instantaneous rate of change of a function
- 2Integral: area under a curve (antiderivative)
- 3Power rule: d/dx(xⁿ) = nxⁿ⁻¹
- 4Fundamental theorem: differentiation and integration are inverse operations
