Calculus is the mathematical subject that studies rates of change of functions. There are several branches of calculus, including differential calculus, integral calculus, single variable calculus, exterior calculus, and multi variable 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.
Isaac Newton was one of the most famous inventors of calculus, however there are several others who developed calculus simultaneously including Gottfried Leibniz.[1]
