Applications of Calculus In the Real World

Calculus is a division of mathematics that involves
finding derivatives, integrals, and properties of functions.
One subdivision of calculus is differential calculus
which deals with continuous change and its applications.
Another subdivision is differential calculus
which deals with the rates at which quantities change.
Although calculus was not discovered until the 1670’s,
by Sir Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibniz, it still is
relevant today and can be used in the “real world”.
For example, calculus can be applied to the physical
interactions in the game of baseball, the shape and
color of rainbows as well as finding the area under
a bridge. This project will prove that calculus is not
something that can be just learned in the classroom
but can be applied to everyday life.
