Calculus has two main sub-disciplines: differential calculus and integral calculus. Differential calculus concerns itself with rates of change
described by mathematical quantity called the derivative. Integral calculus is concerned with a generalised type of addition of quantities described by a mathematical quantity called the integral.
This self-teaching guide will explain this panorama of ideas in a step-by-step and accessible manner. Well-chosen examples and exercises will reinforce the ideas being presented. Frequent review, assessment, and application of the ideas will help students to retain and to internalise all of the important concepts
