Question

anonymous · Answer

The main difference between the two is that differentaiation is about derivatives and integration is based on calculating definite and indefinite integrals

anonymous · Answer

integrals can be used to calculate anti-derivatives and differentiation can be used to calculate derivaties

anonymous · Answer

Taking the derivative of something, and integrating something. What is the difference though?

anonymous · Answer

ok, so the derivative means calculating the slope of a curve and intergration basically means calculating the area under a curve

anonymous · Answer

they are reverse processes
