    Calculus in Real Life

    Uploaded by

    Mary Joy Cornelio
    Calculus is a branch of mathematics primarily concerned with functions, limits, derivatives, and integrals. It has two main subfields: [1] differential calculus studies how quantities change using derivatives; [2] integral calculus is the reverse of differentiation using anti-derivatives. Though complex, calculus has many practical uses in fields like physics, engineering, economics, statistics, and medicine to create mathematical models and arrive at optimal solutions. Calculus is essential for understanding concepts in physics like motion, electricity, and Einstein's theory of relativity. It also has applications in chemistry, biology, and economics.

    Calculus in Real Life

    Mathematics has thousands of branches, and each branch means something different to every
    person. Some may know it as a useful tool that is a key to getting civilizations rolling. Others may just
    see it as bothersome and a tough grade in a class. Still, math is an important part to everyone’s life
    and can be related to even the smallest part of life. Calculus is one of the chief topics in mathematics.
    The formal study of calculus started from the 17th century by well-known scientists and
    mathematicians like Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibniz, although it is possible that it has been at use
    as early as the Greek era. It is a mathematical discipline that is primarily concerned with functions,
    limits, derivatives, and integrals just to name a few. This discipline has a unique legacy over the
    history of mathematics. Even though it is split between the 2 definitions of Newton and Leibniz, it has
    still been able to create a new mathematical system and was used in a variety of applications.

    There are 2 different fields of calculus. The first subfield is called differential calculus. Using what is
    known as derivatives, it studies the behavior and rate on how different quantities change. Using the
    process of differentiation, the graph of a function can actually be computed, analyzed, and predicted.

    The second subfield is called integral calculus. Integration is actually the reverse process of
    differentiation, concerned with the concept of the anti-derivative. Either a concept, or at least
    semblances of it, has existed for centuries already. Even though these 2 subfields are generally
    different form each other, these 2 concepts are linked by the fundamental theorem of calculus.
    Though it is complicated to use well, calculus does have a lot of practical uses - uses that you
    probably won’t comprehend at first. The most common practical use of calculus is when plotting
    graphs of certain formulae or functions. Using methods such as the first derivative and the second
    derivative, a graph and its dimensions can be accurately estimated. These 2 derivatives are used to
    predict how a graph may look like, the direction that it is taking on a specific point, the shape of the
    graph at a specific point (if concave or convex), just to name a few. Though it may not seem this way,
    calculus can be used all over in real life. Physics, engineering, economics, statistics, and medicine
    are all professions that involve calculus. It is used to create mathematical models in order to arrive
    into an optimal solution. For example, in physics, calculus is used in a lot of its concepts. Physical
    concepts that use concepts of calculus include motion, electricity, heat, light, harmonics, acoustics,
    astronomy, and dynamics. Even advanced physics concepts including electromagnetism and
    Einstein’s theory of relativity use calculus. In chemistry, calculus can be used to predict functions
    such as reaction rates and radioactive decay. Meanwhile, in biology, it is utilized to formulate rates
    such as birth and death rates. In economics, calculus is used to compute marginal cost and marginal
    revenue, enabling economists to predict maximum profit in a specific setting. In addition, it is used to
    check answers for different mathematical disciplines such as statistics, analytical geometry, and
    algebra. As you can see, calculus has a huge role in the real world. For most professions, learning it
    is the key to success.

    So this is why you can’t dismiss calculus as just another nuisance. If it is, interest on the matter
    wouldn’t have lasted as long as it did.
