	Calculus history
		Hence an awareness of the inverse of differentiation began to evolve naturally and the idea that integral and derivative were inverses to each other were familiar to Barrow.
		In fact, although Barrow never explicitly stated the fundamental theorem of the calculus, he was working towards the result and Newton was to continue with this direction and state the Fundamental Theorem of the Calculus explicitly.
		His results on the integral calculus were published in 1684 and 1686 under the name 'calculus summatorius', the name integral calculus was suggested by Jacob Bernoulli in 1690.

	Calculus (mathematics) - MSN Encarta
		Calculus (mathematics), branch of mathematics concerned with the study of such concepts as the rate of change of one variable quantity with respect to another, the slope of a curve at a prescribed point, the computation of the maximum and minimum values of functions, and the calculation of the area bounded by curves.
		The two branches into which elementary calculus is usually divided are differential calculus, based on the consideration of the limit of a certain ratio, and integral calculus, based on the consideration of the limit of a certain sum.
		Every application of differential calculus stems directly or indirectly from one or both of the two interpretations of the derivative as the slope of the tangent to the curve and as the rate of change of the dependent variable with respect to the independent variable.

		Fundamental to calculus are derivatives, integrals, and limitss.
		Differential calculus is concerned with finding the instantaneous rate of change (or derivative) of a function's value, with respect to changes within the function's arguments.
		Calculus has been extended to differential equations, vector calculus, calculus of variations, time scale calculus and differential topology.

	History of the Calculus -- Differential and Integral Calculus
		Differential calculus is based on the problem of finding the instantaneous rate of change of one quantity relative to another.
		Newton are usually designated the inventors of calculus, mainly for their separate discoveries of the fundamental theorem of calculus and work on notation.
		Differential calculus has been applied to many questions that are not first formulated in the language of calculus.

	Differential (calculus) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In calculus, a differential is an infinitesimally small change in a variable.
		Differentials have the same unit as the variable they are associated with.
		Differentials were essential to the development of calculus and were discovered in the same time frame.

	Calculus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Calculus is built on two major complementary ideas, both of which rely critically on the concept of limits.
		The first is differential calculus, which is concerned with the instantaneous rate of change of quantities with respect to other quantities, or more precisely, the local behavior of functions.
		This equation eventually led Bhaskara in the 12th century to develop a number of ideas that are foundational to the development of modern calculus, including the statement of the theorem now known as "Rolle's theorem".

		Calculus is the branch of mathematical analysis concerned with the rates of change of continuous functions as their arguments change.
		The beauty and importance of calculus is that it provides a systematic way for the exact calculation of many areas, volumes, and other quantities that were beyond the methods of the early Greeks.
		It is possible to think of ds and dt as numbers whose ratio ds/dt is equal to v; ds is called the differential of s, and dt the differential of t.

	Math 131: Calculus II
		Briefly, differential calculus is concerned with rates of change ("the slope problem") and integral calculus is concerned with area, in particular the area enclosed by arbitrary curves.
		In differential calculus, the motivating problem was the paradoxical notion of an "instantaneous" rate of change.
		Calculus I is a prerequisite for this course.

	World Web Math: Calculus Summary
		Calculus has two main parts: differential calculus and integral calculus.
		Differential calculus studies the derivative and integral calculus studies (surprise!) the integral.
		The derivative and integral are linked in that they are both defined via the concept of the limit: they are inverse operations of each other (a fact sometimes known as the fundamental theorem of calculus): and they are both fundamental to much of modern science as we know it.
