Calculus is called “the study of limits.” In algebra you learn to find the slope of a line. By using lines, calculus allows us to find the slope of a curve. Similarly, in geometry you learn to find the areas of rectangles and other polygons. By using familiar simple plane figures, calculus will allow us to find the area of a curved region or curved solid.
