Differential Calculus Essay
Differential Calculus
Differential calculus is one of the subfields of calculus, and deals with the rate of change of various quantities. The other field of calculus is integral
calculus, the two fields being the inverse of each other. One way to understand the relationship is to observe that differential calculus cuts a whole into
tiny pieces, to find out how quickly it changes, while integral calculus put the small pieces together to find the whole.
Differential calculus is the study of rate of change, using the tools of limits and derivatives. Since differential calculus studies rates of change, any
function that changes continuously can be differentiated.
To determine the rate of change between two points on a graph, you calculate the slope of the secant intersecting these two points (see below). The
secant is a linear function of the form (y=ax+b).Therefore, the slope is constant, and can be determined as: a=(y_2–y_1)/(x_2–x_1 )=∆y/∆x,∆x
and ∆y is read as the change in x in respect of the change in y.... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The slope of the tangent is equivalent to the instantaneous rate of the change of the function at the point, at which the tangent touches the function
curve. The instantaneous rate of change is the ∆y is the distance between f(x) and f(x + ∆x). ∆x is the distance between x and (x + ∆x).
The formula for calculating the average slope between A and B (secant line) is(f(x+∆x)
–f(x))/((x+∆x)
–x)=(f(x+∆x)
–f(x))/∆x, where ∆x
accounts for the distance between the two points, f(x+∆x ) and

History of Calculus Essay
History of Calculus
The history of calculus falls into several distinct time periods, most notably the ancient, medieval, and modern periods. The ancient period introduced
some of the ideas of integral calculus, but does not seem to have developed these ideas in a rigorous or systematic way. Calculating volumes and areas,
the basic function of integral calculus, can be traced back to the Egyptian Moscow papyrus (c. 1800 BC), in which an Egyptian successfully calculated
the volume of a pyramidal frustum.[1][2] From the school of Greek mathematics, Eudoxus (c. 408−355 BC) used the method of exhaustion,
which prefigures the concept of the limit, to calculate areas and volumes while Archimedes (c. 287−212 BC) developed this idea ... Show more

In Europe, the second half of the 17th century was a time of major innovation. Calculus provided a new opportunity in mathematical physics to solve
long–standing problems. Several mathematicians contributed to these breakthroughs, notably John Wallis and Isaac Barrow. James Gregory proved a
special case of the second fundamental theorem of calculus in AD 1668.
Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz was originally accused of plagiarism of Sir Isaac Newton's unpublished works, but is now regarded as an independent
inventor and contributor towards calculus.
Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz was originally accused of plagiarism of Sir Isaac Newton's unpublished works, but is now regarded as an independent

Leibniz and Newton pulled these ideas together into a coherent whole and they are usually credited with the independent and nearly simultaneous
invention of calculus. Newton was the first to apply calculus to general physics and Leibniz developed much of the notation used in calculus today; he
often spent days determining appropriate symbols for concepts. The basic insight that both Newton and Leibniz had was the fundamental theorem of
calculus.

Pre-Calculus Research Paper
Prior to taking Pre – Calculus I had taken College Algebra which has helped me tremendously with the objectives of Pre – Calculus. I learned basic
algebra skills that helped me advance in solving the objectives needed for the advancement of the course. I am currently working for a construction
framing business in which some math skills are required. I plan on obtaining a major in structural engineering and a minor in mechanical. The College
Algebra class thought me how to add, subtract, divide, and multiply fractions which I had always had difficulty with. I have yet to master the skill, but
because of Pre – Calculus I am receiving a lot of practice, which has helped me comprehend how to solve the math. College Algebra helped me

the need to understand math. To build a building two of the hardest things to accomplish is the roof of the building which has to have a slope, and
an arc if the building were to have any luxury. The roof requires a downward slope to get rid of water and debris, but to find the slope a basic

Using Complex Numbers In Circuit Analysis
Complex Analysis:
Complex analysis, traditionally known as the theory of functions of a complex variable, is the branch of mathematical analysis that investigates
functions of complex numbers. It is useful in many branches of mathematics, including algebraic geometry, number theory, applied mathematics; as
well as in physics, including hydrodynamics and thermodynamics and also in engineering fields such as nuclear, aerospace, mechanical and electrical
engineering.
Murray R. Spiegel described complex analysis as "one of the most beautiful as well as useful branches of Mathematics".

Take a look at the equations in the previous section. The addition and subtraction equations do not mix up the real and imaginary parts, but the
equations for multiplication and division do. Multiplying a complex number by a real constant also obviously does not mix up the real and imaginary
parts. Essentially, a linear equation is one that will not mix up the real and imaginary parts of the voltages and currents. From a practical standpoint, a
linear circuit is one that includes only passive components (resistors, capacitors, and inductors) plus voltage and/or current sources. No diodes,
transistors, vacuum tubes, etc. are allowed. It is perhaps worth mentioning here that the same formalism, with the same advantages of using complex
numbers, works in mechanics when dealing with small, harmonic oscillations of mechanical systems. voe^(j(wt)) or Io e^(j(wt)) where the phase can

The Math Autobiography of Jacqueline Gandara Mathematics is the study of the sciences of numbers, quantities, geometry and forms.
("Mathematics dictionary definition | mathematics defined", 2016) It is a subject that is simple as well as complex. Over the years I have learned
that math is not my cup of tea. I think I liked it more when I was younger, when it was simple, and easier. I guess you could say that I liked basic
math, like adding, subtracting, and multiplying. Growing up, I actually had no problem with basic math. It was easier when I was in elementary

I use math to shop for things at the store, to cook, bake, and to keep track of my expenses. Math will also be used in the career I have chosen.
According to CFNC.org, math is a necessary skill for a career in Customs and Border Protection, but it is not as important as reading comprehension,
writing and speaking skills. Level 2 math is used in this career and it is most likely not used on a daily basis. (Corporation, 2016) However, basic math
is necessary to get through some of the rules and regulations. For example, let's say someone attempts to cross the border with 39, 12 oz. cans of beer
and 6, 12 oz. cans of ale. This is legal by law if the person meets the legal drinking age of 21. However, there is a limit of 40 oz. of liquor, wine or 24,
12 oz. cans or bottles of beer or ale. This person has passed the limit so, he has to pay a fine of 94 cents for every can that he has gone over. You have
to use your basic math skill to figure out how much money this man owes for bringing extra liquor. 45 cans (what this guy is bringing) minus 24
(the limit) equals 21 cans. 21 multiplied by $0.94 cents is $19.74. This man owes a total of $19.74 for his extra liquor. (Corporation, 2016) The math

school to non–stop studying for an algebra test, I've always expected an A on my assignments. But then came junior year of high school. I had signed
up for one of my school's most demanding courses, AP Calculus AB. On the first day of class, the teacher explained the depth of the material we
would be learning, telling us that it would cover a wide range of math, and showed us a brief introduction to it. He also mentioned that it was a course
where we would have to take time and learn the material on our own. Having gotten straight A's since the day I started attending school, I had no

panic. I had absolutely bombed the first test of the year. I wasn't the only one, but I couldn't believe the grade that I had gotten which was far off
what I expected. After receiving the horrendous scores from the test, students began to drop the class. In just two weeks, the once filled class was

What I Learned As Well As My Career Essay
The Ninja Watch This paper describes my field experience and what I learned as well as my career. I was placed in Sharpstown International School,
in which I was with Mr. O 'Heron. He taught both Pre–calculus and Calculus classes. Those two classes are for seniors and there may have been a few
juniors in the pre–calculus class. There are in total four classes that I observed, one calculus and the rest pre–calculus.
Activities
Throughout the field, I barely engaged in any different activities, mainly observe the students. Though they did ask a few questions. Although I
mainly observed, I did enjoy listening to Mr. O 'Heron 's jokes and stories. Observation is my specialty, I felt a bit odd being there at first, but
eventually I got used to it. I would come in the class, usually, Mr. O 'Heron is explaining something to the students and I sit in the back. I would
sometimes sit with the students, but that 's with the pre–calculus class. I kept this routine for the rest of the time. There are some points when the
students would ask me a few questions. In the beginning, they asked me some questions about college, since Mr. O 'Heron explained some things
about college. The other class, keeping in mind I saw four different classes, they asked for some help with their math. I ask for them to refer to their
notes and point at their mistake. I do wish that I would have engaged in a variety of activities, but since it 's a high school level class there wasn 't

I Have The Pleasure Of Teaching Maiyuki Druen Essay
I have had the pleasure of teaching Maiyuki Druen for three years; as an 8th grader in Advanced Geometry, as a sophomore in Math 174 Dual Credit
Pre–Calculus through Morehead State University, and currently as a junior in AP Calculus. In 8th grade, Maiyuki chose to arrive at school an hour
earlier in order to take Advanced Geometry at the high school. She was by far the best student in the class, even though she was in a class of
extremely bright freshmen and sophomore high school students. Constantly pursuing opportunities for herself, as a sophomore, she chose to take a
dual credit class designed for juniors and seniors. She requested special permission in order to take this college level class as a sophomore, and it was
granted based on her stellar academic record. She continues to push herself academically in my AP Calculus class. She accepts the challenging
problems I assign to the class as an opportunity to further develop her understanding of the mathematics we are studying. She often spends time
analyzing the different approaches to a problem in order to determine the best course of action, and will diligently work the solution discussing her
results with her peers. Often I will observe her having a discussion about the problem solving process with a fellow student rather than just conferring
about her solution.

Calculus As A Part Of Modern Mathematics Education
Calculus (from Latin calculus, literally "small pebble used for counting")[1] is the mathematical study of change, 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),[2] and integral calculus (concerning accumulation of quantities and the areas under and between
curves);[3] these two branches are related to each other by the fundamental theorem of calculus. Both branches make use of the fundamental notions of
convergence of infinite sequences and infinite series to a well–defined limit. Generally, modern calculus is considered to have been developed in the
17th century by Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibniz. Today, calculus has widespread uses in science, engineering and economics[4] and can solve many
problems that elementary algebra alone cannot.
Calculus is a part of modern mathematics education. A course in calculus is a gateway to other, more advanced courses in mathematics devoted to the
study of functions and limits, broadly called mathematical analysis. Calculus has historically been called "the calculus of infinitesimals", or
"infinitesimal calculus". Calculus (plural calculi) is also used for naming some methods of calculation or theories of computation, such as propositional
calculus, calculus of variations, lambda calculus, and process calculus.

I need the most help in. Unfortunately, help was something I struggled to find. The friends that I had in the class also struggled to understand the

matter at home. While I could struggle through my homework by comparing the problem step–by–step with an example, tests and quizzes felt
impossible. Eventually, I was able to gain some assistance in the Math Lab at school, a resource set up for those who needed assistance. The

Ap Calculus Ab Topic Is Solving Limits
My favorite AP Calculus AB topic is solving limits. This is because limits are fairly simple to solve. AP Calculus AB was extremely difficult for me,
so I was happy to find a topic that was somewhat easy for me to understand. I know that a limit is the value that a function or sequence approaches as
the input or index approaches some x–value. To solve most limits, I had to use six basic properties of limits: the sum rule, the difference rule, the
product rule, the constant multiple rule, the quotient rule, and power rule. Sometimes I had to use substitution, factor the limit first, use the conjugate
method, or simplify the complex fraction in the limit. To solve limits involving infinity, I had to look at the highest degree of the numerator and
denominator. If the degree of the numerator is equal to the degree of the denominator, the limit is the lead coefficient ratio. If the degree of the
numerator is greater than the degree of the denominator, the limit does not exist (DNE), В± в€
ћ. If the degree of the numerator is less than the degree
of the denominator. Understanding how to solve limits pleased me. I liked solving limits because I did not have much difficulty doing it.
My least favorite APCalculus AB topic is Riemann sums. This is because I had a hard time remembering how to do them. Riemann sums are used to
estimate the answer to an integral or estimate the area under a curve. There are three different types of Riemann sums: left Riemann sums, (LRAM),

The second–order derivative is defined: f^ ' ' (t)= (d^2 f)/(dt^2 )= lim┬(hв†’0)вЃЎгЂ–(f^ ' (t)–f^ ' (t–h))/hгЂ—

However, early mathematicians solved these questions with what later became known as derivative. Derivative has developed or created the ideas of
extrema, tangent, and limit (Anderson, Katz, and Wilson, 2004). Derivative contributed towards the mathematical world from an early stage to the
development of other rules. Derivative was mentioned early in the 1660's to develop new methods and rules. Many of the methods known today and
that have been developed over the years all derived because of the use of derivative. Derivative supports the evidence of many proofs such as extreme,
tangent, and limit. Newton and Leibniz both saw derivative in a different way. Newton and Leibniz both created calculus separately, as in Newton and
Leibniz were not working together for the creation of calculus. They both created or invented calculus by the development of derivative. For example,
in the first step of creating calculus, Newton and Leibniz took the idea and concepts of derivative and integral. The general concepts of derivative and

Leonhard Euler was born on April 15, 1707, in Basel, Switzerland, Leonhard Euler was one of math's most pioneering thinkers, establishing a career as
an academy scholar and contributing greatly to the fields of geometry, trigonometry and calculus. He released hundreds of articles and publications
during his lifetime, and continued to publish after losing his sight.
Euler showed an early aptitude and propensity for mathematics, and thus, after studying with Johan Bernoulli, he attended the University of Basel and
earned his master's during his teens. Euler served in the navy before joining the St. Petersburg Academy as a professor of physics and later heading its
mathematics division. In the mid–1740s, Euler was appointed the mathematics director

Workshop 6: Savitski–Golay Smoothing Ahmad Zul Izzi Fauzi (201408614) Figure 1.0: Whiskey data plot. The original data plot shows a lot of
noise and need to be smooth or reduce without interfering the data features. The 5, 7 and 9 point Moving Average is plotted using the whiskey
data (See Figure 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3). After the Moving Average were applied it seems most of the noise were reduced in the plot and even though the
peaks amplitude is different for each point of smoothing, the trend line and peaks is similar to each other (5,7 and 9 point). Figure 1.1: 5 Point

Solving The Process Of Creating The Tool Essay
3.0 Problems In the Process of Creating the Tool We encountered a lot of problems during the process of doing the project, mainly in three
perspectives. First is the lack of coding ability, none of us had prior coding experience before and the only Excel knowledge we know is what TAs
taught us in the lab. This problem branched off into many other problems such as disrupting the efficiency of the team because the critical path was
delayed at times. All these problems also related back to the original plan because of our infinite view of the problem in the beginning. The big
mistake was not taking into account the constraints in the very beginning of the project. Instead of focusing on the constraints, we focused on the basic
needs and we focused too much on what we wanted the final product to look like assuming that we all had the capability to code whatever we wanted
to. In the beginning, we only need to use simple Excel functions to create our tool which was within our capabilities; however, with the increase of the
requirement, we had to use more complex functions and create our own function by VBA to satisfy the higher requirement for our tool. This problem
roots back to the original plan. Due to the fact that we planned the functions of the tool without researching and analysing our constraints in coding. In
the beginning we thought that the functions planned were realistic and within our abilities because there were enough resources online to help us.

Leonhard Euler's Life And Accomplishments
Leonhard Euler was an 18th century physicist and scholar who was responsible for developing many concepts that are an integral part of modern
mathematics. Leonhard Euler is considered one of the most renowned and respected mathematician of all times. Euler is known for the tremendous
contributions he made to the field of mathematicians. Many concepts of today's mathematics originated from the works of this phenomenal
mathematician. Euler works spanned many fields including mechanics, fluid dynamics, optics, astronomy, and music theory. His interest in
mathematics began in his childhood from the teachings of his father, Paul Euler. Johann Bernoulli, another great mathematician in his time, was a
friend of Leonard's father was a major influence in Euler. According to Gottschling, Leonard works covered many areas such as algebra,geometry,
calculus. Trigonometry, andnumber theory. Two numbers are named after Euler which are Euler's Number in calculus,... Show more content on

He began his study of theology in 1723 but after gaining his father 's friend, Johann Bernoulli, he changed his study to mathematics. He completed
his studies at the University of Basel. Around the same time, Johann Bernoulli two sons, Daniel and Nicholaus were working at the Imperial Russian
Academy of Sciences in Saint Petersburg. On July 31, 1726, Nicholaus died of appendicitis and at that point Daniel assumed his brother's position.
He recommended his previous now vacant position to be filled by his friend Euler. Euler arrived in Saint Petersburg on May 17,1727. He was
promoted to a position in the mathematics department. He stayed with Daniel Bernoulli whom he also worked with. After the death of Peter II, Euler
rose through the ranks of the academy and became professor of physics in 1731. Daniel Bernoulli left the academy to return to Basel. Euler was

The Discovery Of Calculus : Newton And Gottfried Von...
Throughout history, there have been numerous mathematical discoveries, but perhaps none of these were met with the controversy of the discovery of
Calculus. In the 1600s, two men, Isaac Newton and Gottfried von Leibniz both began the study of differential and integral Calculus. During the 17th
century, plagiarism was an extremely serious offense and second inventors were often put in the position to defend their right to the topic and against
suspicion. Newton and Leibniz spent many years with their respective supporters defending their claim to the discovery of Calculus although today
historians and mathematicians agree that Newton and Leibniz independently and without knowledge of the other's work discovered the basis and
methods for differential and integral Calculus.
Gottfried Leibniz was born on July 1, 1646, in Germany to a wealthy family; his father was a professor of moral philosophy. When young, Leibniz
attended the Nicolai School, but mostly taught himself out of his father's library. [1] He later went on to study at the University of Leipzig where he
focused on law. While studying at university he came in contact with many great philosophers such as Bacon, Hobbes, and Descartes. [1] In 1666,
Leibniz was denied his Doctorate of Law due to his youth causing him to leave Leipzig, this same year he wrote his first book on philosophy. [2]
Upon leaving Leipzig, he met Johann Christian von Boyneburg and was hired as his assistant and used this position to gain

Paper On Leonhard Euler
Abstract– Today we use many concepts passed down from generation to generation to solve our physics, mathematics and other general problems. We
use concepts that originated in the minds of great mathematicians such as Newton, Leibniz, the Bernoulli family of mathematicians and many others. In
the 18th century we find the mathematicians started to structure and format the way we prove solutions. These mathematicians started creating the
laws that govern our work and how we go about solving daily problems. During this time we saw the development of calculus and a great deal of
progress in the fields where quantities vary such as physics, astronomy, and medicine using these new formats. This paper focuses on the life of

In 1738 he claimed he strained his right eye while working on a paper, but later it was found, his fever caused his eye to eventually lose all sight. In
1736 he wrote his first major mathematical work, Machanica, a book filled with articles presenting Newtonian dynamics in mathematic [2]. By 1740
he had a high reputation and won awards and an invitation to join the academy in Berlin. Political turmoil in Russia persuaded Euler to move to
Berlin as well as the personal invitation by Fredrick the Great. A great friend of Euler's, Pierre–Louis Moreau de Maupertuis, was President of the
Berlin Academy and Euler was the director of mathematics. For twenty five years in Berlin, the king trusted Euler's problem solving skill and
charged him with daily problems of change and quantities. During this time, Euler wrote 380 papers on the calculus of planetary orbits, artillery
ballistics, and differential calculus. He also wrote a popular scientific publication, Letters to a Princess of Germany. In 1759 Maupertuis died and
Euler assumed interim leadership of the Berlin Academy. King Fredrick chose d'Alembert for President and Euler felt it was time to leave Berlin

Throughout my time here at Notre Dame High School, I have taken four different math classes. I started my freshmen year taking Honors Algebra Two,
then continued on to take Honors Pre–Calculus, Honors Calculus and AP Calculus AB. I chose to take all these math courses because I was very
good as math in my middle school. I was placed in the advance class my sixth grade year, which I at first questioned, however realized that I
enjoyed math a lot. Not only did I enjoy math in general, I became at it. Usually, when you are good at something, you tend to enjoy it. I enjoy math
because it comes easy to me. I easily comprehend what is going on in class and find it rewarding when i correctly solve a problem. Additionally, I find
it intriguing learning and figuring out multiple ways to solve the same problem. Math was always my favorite subject throughout my years in middle
school and high school. Ultimately, math is present everywhere and extremely important no matter what career choice you choose. Whether you're
running your own business or majoring in math, math will be present everywhere you go and is essential to fully understand. So discovering how
to solve certain problems will be useful later on in life. I believe taking all the math courses I have throughout my career here at Notre Dame as well

Critical Reflection
"Anyone can turn his weaknesses into strengths", I was reading the book David and Goliath by Malcolm Gladwell, and the book was about a battle
between David, the underdog, and Goliath, the giant, and it explains how David defeated a giant by using his unconventional strategies. It also talks
about how some underdogs can overcome their weaknesses; in addition, it also explains how power comes in different forms. Malcolm Gladwell
proved his arguments by providing some real–life experiences of different underdogs. According to Gladwell, an underdog is a person who is
underestimated by everyone to perform any task successfully. Malcolm Gladwell also explains many other terms to prove his argument. I have
experiences in my student life where I felt like an underdog. I felt disempowered because of my weaknesses. I still remember the first day of my
English 838 class at College of San Mateo, and I felt so unconfident in the classroom because I was not a native speaker. There were also moments in
my college classes where I felt empowered because of my strengths; for example, I felt empowered in my Math–120 and pre–calculus class because I
already knew the concepts of these classes. I had a lot of moments in my life where I felt empowered and disempowered as a student, but learning
from those moments helped me to succeed in my college classes.

The major topics explored in Calculus C are largely defined by derivatives of vector–valued and parametrically defined functions, integration by partial
fractions, improper integrals, series convergence (Taylor and Maclaurin), L'Hopitals Rule, and numerous applications. All of the following topics
require a solid foundation in not only Calculus A but also Calculus B.
Vector–valued functions include mathematical functions of one or more variables whose range is defined as a set of both multidimensional vectors
and infinite dimensional vectors. Much of this was expanded on by Newton and Descartes during the Enlightenment in Europe. Newton largely defined

The derivative of a three–dimensional vector function can be differentiated by using standard differentiating rules, taught in a standard Calculus A
course, as it breaks up the components in the Cartesian coordinate system.
Integration by partial fractions, or in other words commonly known as the partial derivative of a vector function, is defined with a commonly used
variable a, with respect to the frequently used scalar variable q. A sub I is the scalar component of a in the direction of e sub i. Sometimes, it is also
called the direction cosine of a and e sub i, but it is also frequently known in most math classes as the dot product. The vectors e1,e2,e3 form what is
known as an orthonormal basis that is commonly fixed in the reference frame in which the derivative of the partial is being taken. This was also further
expanded on by Newton in the 17th century in his famous book Principia Mathematica and he often used the notation from Gottfried Leibniz, another
17th century mathematician.
Defined by Isaac Newton and Descartes, in calculus C, another frequently taught topic is what is known as an improper integral. It is defined as the
limit of a definite integral as an endpoint of the interval or intervals of integration approach either a specified definite real number or infinity or even in
some cases negative infinity. In other cases both endpoints approach limits. Such an integral is often written symbolically just like a standard definite

My life has been dramatically changed by the teachers in my life. From Mr. Brink, to my 8th grade science teacher Coach Bradley, the love, service,
and patience I've seen reflected in my favorite teachers astounded me every time.
As a teacher one day, I can only hope to open up my arms with acceptance and love the way my old teachers opened up to me. My past experiences
have taught me not only how difficult life can be for certain students, but also that there is beauty in diversity. I hope to show all of my different
students both appreciation and respect, regardless of their background, the way my teachers have for

Gabriel's horn
Rationale
I was studying calculus from Math SL text book ( Oxford Publication) , when I was doing my integration questions in between I saw a paragraph of
Gabriel Horn , only one paragraph was given . After that it struck in my mind to explore my IA on this topic. I searched from many resources and try
to explore the following. In this I found major portion of calculus (differentiation and integration) was explained. it is very interesting to explore the
topic on the calculus. That is why I opted this topic.
Personal Engagement:
After studied about the Gabriel Horn , I thought , let me try to paint the Horn myself . so do this I bought the Horn from the market and painted it
completely . I often spent my time covering the Horn in different color and I decided to paint it .
When I was painting it , in an attempt to understand the surface area and the volume of my Horn I

Differential Calculus Essay

  • 1. Differential Calculus Essay Differential Calculus Differential calculus is one of the subfields of calculus, and deals with the rate of change of various quantities. The other field of calculus is integral calculus, the two fields being the inverse of each other. One way to understand the relationship is to observe that differential calculus cuts a whole into tiny pieces, to find out how quickly it changes, while integral calculus put the small pieces together to find the whole. Differential calculus is the study of rate of change, using the tools of limits and derivatives. Since differential calculus studies rates of change, any function that changes continuously can be differentiated. To determine the rate of change between two points on a graph, you calculate the slope of the secant intersecting these two points (see below). The secant is a linear function of the form (y=ax+b).Therefore, the slope is constant, and can be determined as: a=(y_2–y_1)/(x_2–x_1 )=∆y/∆x,∆x and ∆y is read as the change in x in respect of the change in y.... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The slope of the tangent is equivalent to the instantaneous rate of the change of the function at the point, at which the tangent touches the function curve. The instantaneous rate of change is the ∆y is the distance between f(x) and f(x + ∆x). ∆x is the distance between x and (x + ∆x). The formula for calculating the average slope between A and B (secant line) is(f(x+∆x) –f(x))/((x+∆x) –x)=(f(x+∆x) –f(x))/∆x, where ∆x accounts for the distance between the two points, f(x+∆x ) and ...

  • 2. History of Calculus Essay History of Calculus The history of calculus falls into several distinct time periods, most notably the ancient, medieval, and modern periods. The ancient period introduced some of the ideas of integral calculus, but does not seem to have developed these ideas in a rigorous or systematic way. Calculating volumes and areas, the basic function of integral calculus, can be traced back to the Egyptian Moscow papyrus (c. 1800 BC), in which an Egyptian successfully calculated the volume of a pyramidal frustum.[1][2] From the school of Greek mathematics, Eudoxus (c. 408&#8722;355 BC) used the method of exhaustion, which prefigures the concept of the limit, to calculate areas and volumes while Archimedes (c. 287&#8722;212 BC) developed this idea ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... In Europe, the second half of the 17th century was a time of major innovation. Calculus provided a new opportunity in mathematical physics to solve long–standing problems. Several mathematicians contributed to these breakthroughs, notably John Wallis and Isaac Barrow. James Gregory proved a special case of the second fundamental theorem of calculus in AD 1668. Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz was originally accused of plagiarism of Sir Isaac Newton's unpublished works, but is now regarded as an independent inventor and contributor towards calculus. Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz was originally accused of plagiarism of Sir Isaac Newton's unpublished works, but is now regarded as an independent inventor and contributor towards calculus. Leibniz and Newton pulled these ideas together into a coherent whole and they are usually credited with the independent and nearly simultaneous invention of calculus. Newton was the first to apply calculus to general physics and Leibniz developed much of the notation used in calculus today; he often spent days determining appropriate symbols for concepts. The basic insight that both Newton and Leibniz had was the fundamental theorem of calculus. When Newton and Leibniz first published their results, there was great ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 3. Pre-Calculus Research Paper Prior to taking Pre – Calculus I had taken College Algebra which has helped me tremendously with the objectives of Pre – Calculus. I learned basic algebra skills that helped me advance in solving the objectives needed for the advancement of the course. I am currently working for a construction framing business in which some math skills are required. I plan on obtaining a major in structural engineering and a minor in mechanical. The College Algebra class thought me how to add, subtract, divide, and multiply fractions which I had always had difficulty with. I have yet to master the skill, but because of Pre – Calculus I am receiving a lot of practice, which has helped me comprehend how to solve the math. College Algebra helped me understand that math is basically a puzzle that needs to be solved with steps, because of this understanding the math has become fun to solve. After solving a problem in class that my other classmates have ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Before deciding that I wanted to become an engineer, the thought of needing math in the future was never important to me. Since deciding my future I obtained a job in construction framing to have a hands on feeling of how buildings should be built. That is when I was truly enlighten in the need to understand math. To build a building two of the hardest things to accomplish is the roof of the building which has to have a slope, and an arc if the building were to have any luxury. The roof requires a downward slope to get rid of water and debris, but to find the slope a basic knowledge if trigonometry must be obtained first, which is where Pre – Calculus helped me understand the math to create the roof of a building. The arcs within the building are used to dress up the building and make it look luxurious. The arcs would have never been possible without learning the angle and arc length which were learned how to be obtained when taking Pre – ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 4. Using Complex Numbers In Circuit Analysis Complex Analysis: Complex analysis, traditionally known as the theory of functions of a complex variable, is the branch of mathematical analysis that investigates functions of complex numbers. It is useful in many branches of mathematics, including algebraic geometry, number theory, applied mathematics; as well as in physics, including hydrodynamics and thermodynamics and also in engineering fields such as nuclear, aerospace, mechanical and electrical engineering. Murray R. Spiegel described complex analysis as "one of the most beautiful as well as useful branches of Mathematics". Using Complex Numbers in Circuit Analysis: The purpose of this note is to review the algebra of concept numbers and show how they can be used to simplify analyses ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Take a look at the equations in the previous section. The addition and subtraction equations do not mix up the real and imaginary parts, but the equations for multiplication and division do. Multiplying a complex number by a real constant also obviously does not mix up the real and imaginary parts. Essentially, a linear equation is one that will not mix up the real and imaginary parts of the voltages and currents. From a practical standpoint, a linear circuit is one that includes only passive components (resistors, capacitors, and inductors) plus voltage and/or current sources. No diodes, transistors, vacuum tubes, etc. are allowed. It is perhaps worth mentioning here that the same formalism, with the same advantages of using complex numbers, works in mechanics when dealing with small, harmonic oscillations of mechanical systems. voe^(j(wt)) or Io e^(j(wt)) where the phase can be taken to be zero if there is only one source. Otherwise the relative phases of the sources must be taken into account. Then treat each passive component as an impedance Resistor: Z = R Capacitor ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 5. Jacqueline Gandara The Math Autobiography of Jacqueline Gandara Mathematics is the study of the sciences of numbers, quantities, geometry and forms. ("Mathematics dictionary definition | mathematics defined", 2016) It is a subject that is simple as well as complex. Over the years I have learned that math is not my cup of tea. I think I liked it more when I was younger, when it was simple, and easier. I guess you could say that I liked basic math, like adding, subtracting, and multiplying. Growing up, I actually had no problem with basic math. It was easier when I was in elementary school. It was until I arrived to middle school and high school that I realized that math wasn't as simple as I thought it was. Math did not really influence my life until I reached ...

According to CFNC.org, math is a necessary skill for a career in Customs and Border Protection, but it is not as important as reading comprehension, writing and speaking skills. Level 2 math is used in this career and it is most likely not used on a daily basis. (Corporation, 2016) However, basic math is necessary to get through some of the rules and regulations. For example, let's say someone attempts to cross the border with 39, 12 oz. cans of beer and 6, 12 oz. cans of ale. This is legal by law if the person meets the legal drinking age of 21. However, there is a limit of 40 oz. of liquor, wine or 24, 12 oz. cans or bottles of beer or ale. This person has passed the limit so, he has to pay a fine of 94 cents for every can that he has gone over. You have to use your basic math skill to figure out how much money this man owes for bringing extra liquor. 45 cans (what this guy is bringing) minus 24 (the limit) equals 21 cans. 21 multiplied by $0.94 cents is $19.74. This man owes a total of $19.74 for his extra liquor. (Corporation, 2016) The math class I plan to take for my major is college Algebra.

From proudly receiving stickers and praise notes in elementary school to non–stop studying for an algebra test, I've always expected an A on my assignments. But then came junior year of high school. I had signed up for one of my school's most demanding courses, AP Calculus AB. On the first day of class, the teacher explained the depth of the material we would be learning, telling us that it would cover a wide range of math, and showed us a brief introduction to it. He also mentioned that it was a course where we would have to take time and learn the material on our own.

I could see the faces of disappointment cross my classmates' faces as they saw their grades. My teacher finally called my name. I nervously made my way up to the front of the room and took the test as my teacher handed it to me. As soon as I saw my grade, I felt my stomach drop and my mind go into panic. I had absolutely bombed the first test of the year. I wasn't the only one, but I couldn't believe the grade that I had gotten which was far off what I expected. After receiving the horrendous scores from the test, students began to drop the class. In just two weeks, the once filled class was reduced to a small classroom of only fifteen students. Everyone in the class was overwhelmed and stressed by the amount of work load that we were being given. As for me, I was doing worse and worse as the class progressed.

Those two classes are for seniors and there may have been a few juniors in the pre–calculus class. There are in total four classes that I observed, one calculus and the rest pre–calculus. Activities Throughout the field, I barely engaged in any different activities, mainly observe the students. Though they did ask a few questions. Although I mainly observed, I did enjoy listening to Mr. O 'Heron 's jokes and stories. Observation is my specialty, I felt a bit odd being there at first, but eventually I got used to it. I would come in the class, usually, Mr. O 'Heron is explaining something to the students and I sit in the back. I would sometimes sit with the students, but that 's with the pre–calculus class. I kept this routine for the rest of the time. There are some points when the students would ask me a few questions. In the beginning, they asked me some questions about college, since Mr. O 'Heron explained some things about college. The other class, keeping in mind I saw four different classes, they asked for some help with their math. I ask for them to refer to their notes and point at their mistake.

  • 10. Calculus As A Part Of Modern Mathematics Education Calculus (from Latin calculus, literally "small pebble used for counting")[1] is the mathematical study of change, 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),[2] and integral calculus (concerning accumulation of quantities and the areas under and between curves);[3] these two branches are related to each other by the fundamental theorem of calculus. Both branches make use of the fundamental notions of convergence of infinite sequences and infinite series to a well–defined limit. Generally, modern calculus is considered to have been developed in the 17th century by Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibniz. Today, calculus has widespread uses in science, engineering and economics[4] and can solve many problems that elementary algebra alone cannot. Calculus is a part of modern mathematics education. A course in calculus is a gateway to other, more advanced courses in mathematics devoted to the study of functions and limits, broadly called mathematical analysis. Calculus has historically been called "the calculus of infinitesimals", or "infinitesimal calculus". Calculus (plural calculi) is also used for naming some methods of calculation or theories of computation, such as propositional calculus, calculus of variations, lambda calculus, and process calculus.

Math has always been my weakest subject and the one that I need the most help in. Unfortunately, help was something I struggled to find. The friends that I had in the class also struggled to understand the subject matter just as much as I did and were unable to help me themselves. For a long time, I used online resources to try and review the subject matter at home. While I could struggle through my homework by comparing the problem step–by–step with an example, tests and quizzes felt impossible. Eventually, I was able to gain some assistance in the Math Lab at school, a resource set up for those who needed assistance. The one–on–one attention that I received gave me an understanding that I did not achieve when just sitting in the lecture. However, while I was able to better understand my homework, I still consistently earned a C on the tests and quizzes.

  • 13. Ap Calculus Ab Topic Is Solving Limits My favorite AP Calculus AB topic is solving limits. This is because limits are fairly simple to solve. AP Calculus AB was extremely difficult for me, so I was happy to find a topic that was somewhat easy for me to understand. I know that a limit is the value that a function or sequence approaches as the input or index approaches some x–value. To solve most limits, I had to use six basic properties of limits: the sum rule, the difference rule, the product rule, the constant multiple rule, the quotient rule, and power rule. Sometimes I had to use substitution, factor the limit first, use the conjugate method, or simplify the complex fraction in the limit. To solve limits involving infinity, I had to look at the highest degree of the numerator and denominator. If the degree of the numerator is equal to the degree of the denominator, the limit is the lead coefficient ratio. If the degree of the numerator is greater than the degree of the denominator, the limit does not exist (DNE), В± в€ ћ. If the degree of the numerator is less than the degree of the denominator. Understanding how to solve limits pleased me. I liked solving limits because I did not have much difficulty doing it. My least favorite APCalculus AB topic is Riemann sums. This is because I had a hard time remembering how to do them. Riemann sums are used to estimate the answer to an integral or estimate the area under a curve.

However, early mathematicians solved these questions with what later became known as derivative. Derivative has developed or created the ideas of extrema, tangent, and limit (Anderson, Katz, and Wilson, 2004). Derivative contributed towards the mathematical world from an early stage to the development of other rules. Derivative was mentioned early in the 1660's to develop new methods and rules. Many of the methods known today and that have been developed over the years all derived because of the use of derivative. Derivative supports the evidence of many proofs such as extreme, tangent, and limit. Newton and Leibniz both saw derivative in a different way. Newton and Leibniz both created calculus separately, as in Newton and Leibniz were not working together for the creation of calculus. They both created or invented calculus by the development of derivative. For example, in the first step of creating calculus, Newton and Leibniz took the idea and concepts of derivative and integral.

First is the lack of coding ability, none of us had prior coding experience before and the only Excel knowledge we know is what TAs taught us in the lab. This problem branched off into many other problems such as disrupting the efficiency of the team because the critical path was delayed at times. All these problems also related back to the original plan because of our infinite view of the problem in the beginning. The big mistake was not taking into account the constraints in the very beginning of the project. Instead of focusing on the constraints, we focused on the basic needs and we focused too much on what we wanted the final product to look like assuming that we all had the capability to code whatever we wanted to. In the beginning, we only need to use simple Excel functions to create our tool which was within our capabilities; however, with the increase of the requirement, we had to use more complex functions and create our own function by VBA to satisfy the higher requirement for our tool.

  • 25. Leonhard Euler's Life And Accomplishments Leonhard Euler was an 18th century physicist and scholar who was responsible for developing many concepts that are an integral part of modern mathematics. Leonhard Euler is considered one of the most renowned and respected mathematician of all times. Euler is known for the tremendous contributions he made to the field of mathematicians. Many concepts of today's mathematics originated from the works of this phenomenal mathematician. Euler works spanned many fields including mechanics, fluid dynamics, optics, astronomy, and music theory. His interest in mathematics began in his childhood from the teachings of his father, Paul Euler. Johann Bernoulli, another great mathematician in his time, was a friend of Leonard's father was a major influence in Euler. According to Gottschling, Leonard works covered many areas such as algebra,geometry, calculus. Trigonometry, andnumber theory. Two numbers are named after Euler which are Euler's Number in calculus,... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... He began his study of theology in 1723 but after gaining his father 's friend, Johann Bernoulli, he changed his study to mathematics. He completed his studies at the University of Basel. Around the same time, Johann Bernoulli two sons, Daniel and Nicholaus were working at the Imperial Russian Academy of Sciences in Saint Petersburg. On July 31, 1726, Nicholaus died of appendicitis and at that point Daniel assumed his brother's position. He recommended his previous now vacant position to be filled by his friend Euler. Euler arrived in Saint Petersburg on May 17,1727. He was promoted to a position in the mathematics department. He stayed with Daniel Bernoulli whom he also worked with. After the death of Peter II, Euler rose through the ranks of the academy and became professor of physics in 1731. Daniel Bernoulli left the academy to return to Basel. Euler was appointed to the vacated position of senior chair mathematics. This new post improved his financial ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 27. The Discovery Of Calculus : Newton And Gottfried Von... Throughout history, there have been numerous mathematical discoveries, but perhaps none of these were met with the controversy of the discovery of Calculus. In the 1600s, two men, Isaac Newton and Gottfried von Leibniz both began the study of differential and integral Calculus. During the 17th century, plagiarism was an extremely serious offense and second inventors were often put in the position to defend their right to the topic and against suspicion. Newton and Leibniz spent many years with their respective supporters defending their claim to the discovery of Calculus although today historians and mathematicians agree that Newton and Leibniz independently and without knowledge of the other's work discovered the basis and methods for differential and integral Calculus. Gottfried Leibniz was born on July 1, 1646, in Germany to a wealthy family; his father was a professor of moral philosophy. When young, Leibniz attended the Nicolai School, but mostly taught himself out of his father's library. [1] He later went on to study at the University of Leipzig where he focused on law. While studying at university he came in contact with many great philosophers such as Bacon, Hobbes, and Descartes. [1] In 1666, Leibniz was denied his Doctorate of Law due to his youth causing him to leave Leipzig, this same year he wrote his first book on philosophy. [2] Upon leaving Leipzig, he met Johann Christian von Boyneburg and was hired as his assistant and used this position to gain ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Or is my path strictly limited to the careers that are related to the classes in which I succeed? It seems that my "endless" career possibilities are suddenly narrowed down drastically when you look at how I performed in certain courses in the past. This indication of my uncertain, almost predetermined future makes it difficult to set goals that will help me achieve a career that best suits me. It is very challenging to set goals for myself if I do not know the direction I am striving for. Some of the previous goals I have set for myself include the basic ones: getting good grades, getting into college, and not getting into any type of trouble. However, the only thing that these goals will help accomplish is to give myself more options to choose from. For example, getting good grades in high school allowed me to have many options in choosing the college that was right for me. However, if my future is predetermined, what good is having all of these options to choose from? In the end, I will ultimately pick only one of the options and never know what the options could have been like. This way of thinking makes it extremely difficult to spend hours completing math equations I know I will never see outside of a Calculus textbook. However, if I had not gotten good grades in high school I would not be at the University of Pittsburgh right now. So this "predetermined" future that many philosophers believe to exist ...

  • 29. Paper On Leonhard Euler Abstract– Today we use many concepts passed down from generation to generation to solve our physics, mathematics and other general problems. We use concepts that originated in the minds of great mathematicians such as Newton, Leibniz, the Bernoulli family of mathematicians and many others. In the 18th century we find the mathematicians started to structure and format the way we prove solutions. These mathematicians started creating the laws that govern our work and how we go about solving daily problems. During this time we saw the development of calculus and a great deal of progress in the fields where quantities vary such as physics, astronomy, and medicine using these new formats. This paper focuses on the life of Leonhard Euler, a ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... In 1738 he claimed he strained his right eye while working on a paper, but later it was found, his fever caused his eye to eventually lose all sight. In 1736 he wrote his first major mathematical work, Machanica, a book filled with articles presenting Newtonian dynamics in mathematic [2]. By 1740 he had a high reputation and won awards and an invitation to join the academy in Berlin. Political turmoil in Russia persuaded Euler to move to Berlin as well as the personal invitation by Fredrick the Great. A great friend of Euler's, Pierre–Louis Moreau de Maupertuis, was President of the Berlin Academy and Euler was the director of mathematics. For twenty five years in Berlin, the king trusted Euler's problem solving skill and charged him with daily problems of change and quantities. During this time, Euler wrote 380 papers on the calculus of planetary orbits, artillery ballistics, and differential calculus. He also wrote a popular scientific publication, Letters to a Princess of Germany. In 1759 Maupertuis died and Euler assumed interim leadership of the Berlin Academy. King Fredrick chose d'Alembert for President and Euler felt it was time to leave Berlin against the King's wishes. By the year 1766, he returned to St. Petersburg and was almost completely blind. He went through cataract surgery, but did not take proper care of his eye later became completely blind. He produced half of his ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 30. Reflection About Maths Throughout my time here at Notre Dame High School, I have taken four different math classes. I started my freshmen year taking Honors Algebra Two, then continued on to take Honors Pre–Calculus, Honors Calculus and AP Calculus AB. I chose to take all these math courses because I was very good as math in my middle school. I was placed in the advance class my sixth grade year, which I at first questioned, however realized that I enjoyed math a lot. Not only did I enjoy math in general, I became at it. Usually, when you are good at something, you tend to enjoy it. I enjoy math because it comes easy to me. I easily comprehend what is going on in class and find it rewarding when i correctly solve a problem. Additionally, I find it intriguing learning and figuring out multiple ways to solve the same problem. Math was always my favorite subject throughout my years in middle school and high school. Ultimately, math is present everywhere and extremely important no matter what career choice you choose. Whether you're running your own business or majoring in math, math will be present everywhere you go and is essential to fully understand. So discovering how to solve certain problems will be useful later on in life. I believe taking all the math courses I have throughout my career here at Notre Dame as well as before as well worth it.

  • 31. Critical Reflection "Anyone can turn his weaknesses into strengths", I was reading the book David and Goliath by Malcolm Gladwell, and the book was about a battle between David, the underdog, and Goliath, the giant, and it explains how David defeated a giant by using his unconventional strategies. It also talks about how some underdogs can overcome their weaknesses; in addition, it also explains how power comes in different forms. Malcolm Gladwell proved his arguments by providing some real–life experiences of different underdogs. According to Gladwell, an underdog is a person who is underestimated by everyone to perform any task successfully. Malcolm Gladwell also explains many other terms to prove his argument. I have experiences in my student life where I felt like an underdog. I felt disempowered because of my weaknesses. I still remember the first day of my English 838 class at College of San Mateo, and I felt so unconfident in the classroom because I was not a native speaker. There were also moments in my college classes where I felt empowered because of my strengths; for example, I felt empowered in my Math–120 and pre–calculus class because I already knew the concepts of these classes. I had a lot of moments in my life where I felt empowered and disempowered as a student, but learning from those moments helped me to succeed in my college classes. I felt disempowered in my English 838 classroom because English was not my native language. I have been in the United States for a year now. Earlier I was at the University of North Texas for a semester, then I transferred to College of San Mateo because of some financial issues in spring 2017.

I knew there were basic classes such as English, Science, History and Math, and then the courses that would be required for my degree. I knew I would be taking Algebra at some point but was not expecting it to be so early on. I am not sure I see a lot of need for Algebra itself in Human Resources, but I do know that I need it to graduate. I do not feel I am being forced to take Algebra, it is just another required course, like Intro to Computers, or Student Success, or English.

The major topics explored in Calculus C are largely defined by derivatives of vector–valued and parametrically defined functions, integration by partial fractions, improper integrals, series convergence (Taylor and Maclaurin), L'Hopitals Rule, and numerous applications. All of the following topics require a solid foundation in not only Calculus A but also Calculus B. Vector–valued functions include mathematical functions of one or more variables whose range is defined as a set of both multidimensional vectors and infinite dimensional vectors. Much of this was expanded on by Newton and Descartes during the Enlightenment in Europe. Newton largely defined calculus in his book Principia Mathematica whereas Descartes was the founder of analytic ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The derivative of a three–dimensional vector function can be differentiated by using standard differentiating rules, taught in a standard Calculus A course, as it breaks up the components in the Cartesian coordinate system. Integration by partial fractions, or in other words commonly known as the partial derivative of a vector function, is defined with a commonly used variable a, with respect to the frequently used scalar variable q. A sub I is the scalar component of a in the direction of e sub i. Sometimes, it is also called the direction cosine of a and e sub i, but it is also frequently known in most math classes as the dot product. The vectors e1,e2,e3 form what is known as an orthonormal basis that is commonly fixed in the reference frame in which the derivative of the partial is being taken. This was also further expanded on by Newton in the 17th century in his famous book Principia Mathematica and he often used the notation from Gottfried Leibniz, another 17th century mathematician. Defined by Isaac Newton and Descartes, in calculus C, another frequently taught topic is what is known as an improper integral. It is defined as the limit of a definite integral as an endpoint of the interval or intervals of integration approach either a specified definite real number or infinity or even in some cases negative infinity.
