Calculus: this is a fundamental element which describes change in dynamic situations and underlines the links between functions and graphs.

In practice this often means:

  • taking limits of functions;

  • differentiating functions;

  • integrating functions.

Here we will see how to instruct a computer to carry out these techniques.

Important

In this chapter we will cover:

  • Taking limits.

  • Differentiating functions.
