The Calculus is made up of a few basic principles that anyone can understand. If looked at in the right way, it’s easy to apply these principles to the world around you and to see how the real world ...

In my mind, however, one item that has to be on the list is calculus. The primary reason engineering and science have progressed rapidly is our ability to model natural phenomena using mathematical ...

Here the y-component of the position for P is known not as an explicit function of time, but rather as a function of the x-component of its position. For velocity and acceleration, you need ...

In this problem, one simply needs to differentiate both the x- and y-coordinates once with respect to time in order to find the corresponding Cartesian components of velocity. Taking another time ...
