"Calculus is concerned with two basic operations, differentiation and integration, and is a tool used by engineers to determine such quantities as rates of change and areas; in fact, calculus is the mathematical ‘backbone’ for dealing with problems where variables change with time or some other reference variable and a basic understanding of calculus is essential for further study and the development of confidence in solving practical engineering problems." (Fox & Bolton, 2002)
This website is designed to help you learn different aspects of Calculus. The three main concepts of calculus are limits, derivatives, and integrals.
For right now, let's focus on the three methods for finding the volumes of solids. |
