As I walked into the class for the Advanced Placement Calculus (AP Calculus) course‚ I immediately took my seat. As I entered the room the teacher was solving a quite difficult equation. I took out my paper and pencil and began to write. The calculus teacher asked the class to solve the equations using a graphing calculator. I was not too sure about my answers but I continued to do the work. “All done?”‚ my math teacher asked to the class. “What did you get for number 1?” As the class confidently

When calculus was invented‚ has always been a question in Math. The first signs of calculus were done by Greek mathematicians. Zeno of Elea of about 450 B.C. gave a number of problems which were based on the infinite. His argument was that motion is impossible. Other Greek mathematicians that contributed to the method of exhaustion are Leucippus‚ Democritus and Antiphon. The method of exhaustion is so called because one thinks of the areas measured expanding so that they account for more and more

Resolution of vector Introduction: The main objective of this lab is to add and resolve vectors using three distinct methods. 1) Graphical: When two forces act upon an object‚ their combined effect can be determined by adding the vectors‚ which represent forces. One method of performing this addition is known as graphical method of vector addition. In this method‚ arrows are drawn in the direction of forces. The lengths of arrows are proportional to the magnitude of vectors. The resultant

CALCULUS Calculus is the study of change which focuses on limits‚ functions‚ derivaties‚ integrals‚ and infinite series. There are two main branches of calculus: differential calculus and integral calculus‚ which are connected by the fundamental theorem of calculus. It was discovered by two different men in the seventeenth century. Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz – a self taught German mathematician – and Isaac Newton - an English scientist - both developed calculus in the 1680s. Calculus is used in a

"The Force Table" is a simple tool for demonstrating Newton’s First Law and the vector nature of forces. This tool is based on the principle of “equilibrium”. An object is said to be in equilibrium when there is no net force acting on it. An object with no net force acting on it has no acceleration. By using simple weights‚ pulleys and strings placed around a circular table‚ several forces can be applied to an object located in the center of the table in such a way that the forces exactly cancel

Calculus is the mathematical study of change‚[1] in the same way that geometry is the study of shape and algebra is the study of operations and their application to solving equations. It has two major branches‚ differential calculus (concerning rates of change and slopes of curves)‚ and integralcalculus (concerning accumulation of quantities and the areas under curves); these two branches are related to each other by the fundamental theorem of calculus. Both branches make use of the fundamental
