THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Discipline

"If we don't discipline ourselves, the eorld will do it for us."

- William Feather

TOPIC OF THE DAY

Calculus

The branch of mathematics called calculus originates from describing the basic physical properties of our universe, such as the motion of cars, planets, and molecules. Calculus approaches the paths of objects in motion as curves, or functions, and then determines the value of these functions to calculate their rate of change, area, or volume. In the 18th century, Sir Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibniz simultaneously, yet separately, described calculus to help solve problems in physics. The two divisions of calculus, differential and integral, can solve problems like the velocity of a car at a certain moment in time, or the surface area of a complex object like a lampshade.
