Perhaps the two most sought after concepts in the history of the subject were the integral and the derivative, as they were a necessity in finding out information needed about the physical world. For example, computation of the derivative could provide the instantaneous velocity of a moving particle; integration was useful in finding the area of curved regions. ... Thereafter, calculus was actively used to solve the major scientific dilemmas of the time, such as:- Calculating the slope of the tangent line to a curve at any point along its length Determining the velocity and acceleratio...
