             Introduction.
             Calculus, known in its early history as infinitesimal calculus, is a mathematical discipline made up of four main concepts, the limit, continuity, the derivative and the integral. Calculus is an indispensable tool for almost anything ranging from calculating the areas and volumes of various figurers, finding how much interest you earn in a bank if your money is growing continuously, designing a safe curving road on a mountain surface , figuring out the most economical way to do some task and so on. 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.
