INTRODUCTION
Calculus is concerned with studying VERY CAREFULLY relationships of the sort that can be put on a graph.
In the course of studying these relationships, mathematicians tried to answer the following three questions:
The FIRST question is ... Pictures are not precise enough and computers can't compute with them.
Assuming a logical answer to the first question, the SECOND question is ...
Mathematicians floundered around for years over this one and finally came up with a clever if somewhat slippery answer that also gave them a way to deal with the THIRD question ...
The answers to these three questions provided the basis for what is called "Differential Calculus," and these answers were just what mathematicians needed to talk about velocities, gravity, etc., and thus get the whole scientific trip off the ground.
