101. Calculus I
Calculus is the elegant language developed to model changes in nature and to formally discuss notions of the infinite and the infinitesimal. The universe is perceived and understood by observing changes and the derivative is the premier intellectual tool for grasping and precisely describing change. Topics include techniques of differentiation, the graphical relationship between a function and its derivatives, and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. Applications may include carbon-dating archeological finds, modeling population growth and optimization. No previous experience with calculus is assumed.
