Illustrated Dictionary of Calculus, 3rd Edition

If algebra is the study of symbols in mathematics, geometry is the study of shapes and trigonometry the study of triangles, then calculus is a branch of mathematics dedicated to the study of change. Calculus can be used to solve a huge number of mathematical problems, from the speed at which an object gradually accelerates (or decelerates) to the slope of an object or curve. Like trigonometry and geometry, calculus is an important branch of mathematics that plays a major role in many scientific careers, from engineering to design, and even in business-related fields such as business and finance.
