Summarry of Calculus Calculus Summary 1. Introduction A relation between quantities often takes the form of a function .
Linear function make up a special but important class.
The constant m is a multiplier , slope , and rate of change . A mathematical model whose variables are connected by rate equations can be analyzed to predict how those variables will change. The slope of the graph at any point is the limit of the slopes seen under a microscope at that point. The rate of change of a function at a point is the slope of its graph at that point, and thus is also a limit . The microscope equation describes how the output changes in response to small changes in the input.
