@lgbasallote @Limitless

Essentially, it is a very small change in y with respect to a very small change in x. You could use these small changes to calculate gradient or area.

3. anonymous

yeahh,,, it is a very easy concept

4. anonymous

plzz explain

5. anonymous

These two answers are wrong. Calculus is a mathematical field.

6. anonymous

so!! i know that

7. anonymous

$\text{slope} = \text{derivative} = \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

8. anonymous

calculus - mathematics of change

9. anonymous

@lgbasallote, that's a concept *in* Calculus.

10. anonymous

yeah..i defined calculus after it lol

11. anonymous

*reportedly* discovered by newton and liebniz

12. anonymous

you mean, "developed"

13. anonymous

Platonism is wrong.

14. anonymous

okay Lgba and limit would to like to elaborate plzzzz

15. cherylim23

You could even extend this to R^3 or even R^n, and hence, we'll get multivariable calculus, where you differentiate or integrate with respect to one variable, such as x, while other variables like y and z are present. Yeah, lgbasallote defined the differentiation part of it... In fact, although Leibnez and Newton discovered/developed calculus, each had their own different notation. Hence you have the notation f'(x), which basically means the same thing as dy/dx

Calculus is a method of Counting {infinitesimal pieces }

17. anonymous

okay

18. anonymous

now im getting smthing

19. anonymous

issssssss goooooonnnnnnnnnnnaaaaaaaaaaaa ssssssssaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyy the truth

20. anonymous
