Introduction to Calculus: The Definitive Learning Guide

How can you determine the velocity or acceleration of an object given a formula describing its position? How can you measure the area underneath a curve? How can you measure the volume of an object generated by rotating a curve around an axis?

These questions and many more are answerable using calculus. Calculus is a branch of math that was developed to calculate the orbits of planets, and calculus has a multitude of applications in engineering and the sciences. Sir Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibniz are credited with discovering calculus independently in the 17th century.

Calculus laid the foundation for the scientific revolution to come. The powerful mathematic tools in calculus revolutionized the world and turned engineering from a medieval craft to a modern science. 

For most students, calculus is their first foray into a branch of mathematics that was invented in the modern era. Often considered complex, it has come to be dreaded by many a college student as a necessary evil.
