Changes

'''Calculus''' is a [[mathematics|mathematical]] subject which studies limits, [[derivative]], [[integrals]] and infinite series.

'''Calculus''' is the [[mathematics|mathematical]] subject that studies rates of change of functions.  There are several branches of calculus, including [[derivative|differential]] calculus, [[integral]] calculus, single [[variable]] calculus, and multi [[variable]] calculus.

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, [[derivative|differential]] calculus and [[integral|integral]] calculus, that are related by the [[fundamental theorem of calculus]].

 

Calculus has numerous applications in [[engineering]] and [[physics]]. Many physical properties can be explained and/or modeled through the use of calculus.  See:[[derivative]] and [[integral]].
