What is Change?
Overview
Calculus is the mathematics of continuous change. Before derivatives or integrals, we explore the core question: how do quantities change relative to each other?
Key Concepts
1
Change is measured by comparing two values over time or distance
2
Graphs visually represent how one quantity depends on another
3
The steepness of a graph encodes how fast something is changing
