Summary:Calculus is the mathematics of change, and almost everything in our world ischanging.Calculus is among the most important and useful developments of human thought, and,even though it is over 300 years old, it is still considered the beginning and cornerstoneof modern mathematics. It is a wonderful and beautiful and useful set of ideas andtechniquesYou will see the fundamental ideas of this course over and over again in future courses inmathematics, the sciences (physical, biological and social) as well as in economics,engineering and others.But calculus is an intellectual step up from your previous mathematics courses.
