The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus

1. The FUNdamental Theorem of Calculus

2. Each branch of mathematics has its own fundamental theorem(s).
If you check out the word fundamental in the dictionary,
you will see that it relates to the foundation
or the base
or is elementary.
Fundamental theorems are important foundations
for the rest of the material to follow.
