Calculus, originally called infinitesimal calculus or the calculus of infinitesimals, is the mathematical study of continuous change, in the same way that geometry is the study of shape and algebra is the study of generalizations of arithmetic operations it has two major branches, differential calculus and integral calculus. Linear functions have the same rate of change no matter where we start. It is a way to find out how a shape changes from one point to the next, without needing to divide the shape into an infinite number of pieces. If the function is fx, and the point is a,fa, the equation for the tangent line in pointslope form is.

The word calculus comes from latin meaning small stone, because it is like understanding something by looking at small pieces. For the purposes of this experiment the tower is 400 feet above the ground, and all the air in the vicinity of the green building was evacuated, so as to eliminate wind resistance.
Differential calculus, a branch of calculus, is the process of finding out the rate of change of a variable compared to another variable, by using functions. We will give an application of differentials in this section. Integral calculus is applied in many branches of mathematics in the theory of differential and integral equations, in probability theory and mathematical statistics, in the theory of optimal processes, etc. Differential calculus makes it possible to compute the limits of a function in many cases when this is not feasible by the simplest limit theorems cf.
