Calculus is used extensively in science and engineering to solve complex and expansive problems where [[algebra]] is insufficient. It builds on analytic geometry and mathematical analysis and includes two major branches, differential calculus and integral calculus, that are related by the [[fundamental theorem of calculus]]. | Calculus is used extensively in science and engineering to solve complex and expansive problems where [[algebra]] is insufficient.
