		Calculus is the name given to a group of systematic methods of calculation, computation, and analysis in mathematics which use a common and specialized algebraic notation.
		Today, calculus is used in every branch of the physical sciences, in computer science, in statistics, and in engineering; in economics, business, and medicine; and as a general method whenever the goal is an optimal solution to a problem that can be given in mathematical form.
		Calculus avoids division by zero by using the concept of the limit which, roughly speaking, is a method of controlling an otherwise uncontrollable output, such as division by zero or multiplication by infinity.

		Calculus is a central branch of mathematics, developed from algebra and geometry.
		Calculus avoids division by zero using the limit which, roughly speaking, is a method of controlling an otherwise uncontrollable output, such as division by zero or multiplication by infinity.
		The word "calculus" stems from the nascent development of mathematics: the early Greeks used pebbles arranged in patterns to learn arithmetic and geometry, and the Latin word for "pebble" is "calculus", a diminutive of calx (genitive calcis) meaning "limestone".

		Today, calculus is used in every branch of the physical sciences, in computer science, in statistics, and in engineering; in economics, business, and medicine; and as a general method whenever the goal is an optimum solution to a problem that can be given in mathematical form.
		The origins of integral calculus are generally regarded as going back no farther than to the time of the ancient Greeks, circa 200 B.C., though there is some evidence that the ancient Egyptians may have had some hint of the idea at a much earlier date.
		Calculus, towards the end of the early modern period and into the first years of the eighteenth century, was a time of major innovation in Europe, making accessible answers to old questions, and providing a new method in mathematical physics.

		The fundamental theorem of the calculus is the fundamental theorem of the calculus.
		In its largest, its most architectural aspect, the calculus is a great, even spectacular theory of space and time, a demonstration that in the real numbers there is an instrument adequate to their representation.

	Why Calculus?
		The foundations of calculus were not secure at the time of invention, and the limitations of calculus were obvious to many critics.
		Calculus is fundamentally a theory of continuous objects.
		However, calculus is about calculating and with the advent of computers it has become possible to attack non-linear problems.

	Student understanding of topics in calculus
		These students enter a calculus course unable to provide a general definition of a function and when prompted are only able to provide examples of functions.
		Confrey argues that students enter a calculus course in one of three ways: with a discrete understanding of continuous ideas; with an independent transition to the idea of continuity; or with an algorithmic approach (Ferrini-Mundy 630).
		Many topics in mathematics have characteristics which indicate that a computer aided learning environment may be effective in promoting student understanding.

	Rho calculus \| Lambda the Ultimate
		The Rho-calculus is a calculus of pattern matching that embeds the lambda-calculus in a very simple manner, and also naturally accomodates a number of extensions of the lambda-calculus.
		It was proposed by Horatiu Cirstea and Claude Kirchner in 1998, and Matching Power, a 2001 RTA paper, is maybe the nicest introduction to the calculus.
		In the conclusion the authors mention that one of the directions of further work on the ρ calculus is the development of a type system.

	History overview
		Progress towards the calculus continued with Fermat, who, together with Pascal, began the mathematical study of probability.
		Leibniz's influence on the various members of the Bernoulli family was important in seeing the calculus grow in power and variety of application.
		Leibniz's notation lead more easily to extending the ideas of the calculus, while Newton's notation although good to describe velocity and acceleration had much less potential when functions of two variables were considered.

	Stupid Question. \| Lambda the Ultimate
		It's a really nice introduction to design issues in structural proof theory and the problems that calculi moulded on the sequent calculus have with modal logic, but she was uncomfortable with introducing talk of design patterns into a work on proof theory, so the definition of calculus was left implicit.
		I don't think it's an essential part of being a calculus that its equational theory, which is symmetric, has to be derived from a notion of reduction, which is directed.
		A proof calculus can be a sort of pattern, then it is like the differential calculus before Cauchy introduced his underpinnings; or it can be fully rigorous, in which case it is like the integral calculus after Lebesgue.

	Calculus Readiness Test Information
		The prerequisite set by the SFU Department of Mathematics for the first Calculus course (MATH 150, 151, 154 or 157) is BC Principles of Mathematics 12 (or equivalent) with a grade of at least B, or MATH 100 Precalculus with a minimum grade of C-, or a satisfactory score on the Calculus Readiness Test.
		If you are unsure whether your mathematics knowledge is sufficient to succeed in the Calculus course of your choice, or if your mathematical background is not recent, we strongly recommend that you take the Calculus Readiness Test, or at least try the Practice Calculus Readiness Test (see below).

		The following list of objectives was developed during the designing of the SFU’s Quantitative Placement Test.
