i can u show u some calculus to get u interested!

dan815 · Answer

umm calculus starts from a very simple idea, the slope of a line

dan815 · Answer

slope which tells you the change in y for change in x, it's the 'rate' of y, as a function of x

dan815 · Answer

are you comfortable with how the first principle formula comes about

marcelie · Answer

i think so

dan815 · Answer

okay so this as 
h-->0 
        f(x+h)-f(x) 
f'(x)= -------- 
             h

dan815 · Answer

the derivative of f(x) at x is given by this formula, which is just the slope formula as the 2nd point gets closer and closer to x
