What is Calculus?

a branch of mathematics  Calculus is the introductory part of mathematical analysis used to mean counting or calculating. It has been accepted as the 'Pebble' of mathematics. As we can understand from its origin, Calculus emerged to put into mathematics and calculate the physical-chemical events that we use extensively in our lives. Calculus, which looks at calculation and analysis from a different perspective, is also the name of the first year course in university education, especially for engineering, mathematics and science students. It forms the basis of positive sciences. It is taught as a compulsory course in many departments in universities. For people who are proficient in calculus, many everyday events that seem impossible to calculate can be solved and analyzed in a simple way.

In which departments is Calculus shown as a course?

Calculus is a compulsory course in almost every numerical section because it covers many topics in mathematics. Because people who know Calculus can think more analytically, gain the ability to analyze, and solve even seemingly impossible events by simplifying them. For this reason, it is shown as a compulsory course in many departments at the national and international university level.

The faculties where the Calculus course is shown are as follows;

1. In Engineering Faculty Departments

2. Mathematics Department and Fields

3. In Statistics Departments

4. Economics and Finance Departments

5. In Architecture Departments

6. In Health Fields Like Medicine

7. In Science Fields Like Physics and Chemistry
