About
Calculus is a branch of mathematics that deals with change. It is often seen as a difficult and scary subject, but it is actually not as complicated as it seems. In this series, we will explore what calculus is, why it is important, and where it came from.
Here is a brief why:
Calculus is an essential tool for many fields, including physics, engineering, economics, and medicine. It is used to model the behavior of physical systems, design and analyze engineering structures, make economic forecasts, and diagnose and treat medical conditions.

Series are sums of multiple terms. Infinite series are sums of an infinite number of terms. Don't all infinite series grow to infinity? It turns out the answer is no. Some infinite series converge to a finite value. Learn how this is possible, how we can tell whether a series converges, and how we can explore convergence in Taylor and Maclaurin series.
