AI overview

Calculus is the mathematical study of continuous change, with two main branches: differential calculus, which analyzes how things change at any given moment, and integral calculus, which analyzes how quantities accumulate over time. It matters because these tools allow mathematicians and scientists to understand and predict how systems change and grow, from the motion of objects to the spread of diseases.
