This chapter introduces calculus. Calculus deals with the way in which quantities grow or change in relationship with each other. This chapter includes finding the derivative of a function, finding an integral, and some applications of derivatives, such as finding the local minimum and maximum of a function. Many readers will have covered this material before; this chapter will, therefore, represent a reminder for such readers. Doing the many exercises will help with that revision. For others, the many examples and exercises will aid in the learning process.

This chapter introduces calculus. Calculus deals with the way in which quantities grow or change in relationship with each other. This chapter includes finding the derivative of a function, finding an integral, and some applications of derivatives, such as finding the local minimum and maximum of a function. Many readers will have covered this material before; this chapter will, therefore, represent a reminder for such readers. Doing the many exercises will help with that revision. For others, the many examples and exercises will aid in the learning process.
