Differential Calculus

INTRODUCTION

Calculus is one of the remarkable achievements of the human intellect. It is a collection of fascinating and exciting ideas rather than a technical tool. Calculus has two main divisions namely differential calculus and integral calculus. They serve to solve a variety of problems that arise in science, engineering and other fields including social sciences.

Differential calculus had its origin from the problem of finding tangent to a curve and integral calculus had its origin from the problem of finding plane area. The concept of derivative which measure the rate of change of a function is the central idea in differential calculus.

In this chapter, we will deal with functions, limit of function, continuity and differentiability of functions and simple applications
