What is Calculus?

In layman’s terms, Calculus is the branch of advanced mathematics that studies the rate of change. Throughout a high school Calculus class, NYC students will define and deal with limits, derivatives, and integrals of functions. Moreover, the key ingredient in Calculus is the notion of infinity. Calculus consists of two main branches called differential and integral Calculus. Differential Calculus deals with derivatives and their applications – the study of functions and the rate of change within functions when variables are altered. Integral Calculus identifies volumes, areas, and solutions to equations with a concentration on determining mathematical answers such as total size or value.

Calculus has many practical applications to real-life problems in geography, computer vision (such as for autonomous driving of cars), artificial intelligence, robotics, video games, and even movies. For any profession that requires students to determine work, area, volume, gradient, or surface area, Calculus will help them achieve an answer.

Why are Calculus Concepts so Difficult?

Many NYC students view Calculus as one of the most challenging high school math courses because it fuses fundamental concepts students build and reinforce from several previous math classes. Without a solid math foundation, NYC students often struggle to apply concepts from Algebra and Trigonometry to their Calculus coursework. Moreover, students must already possess strong reading comprehension to decipher tough open-ended questions on mid-terms or the AP Calculus exam.

For NYC students struggling in a high school Calculus class, private 1-on-1 tutoring sessions can unlock untapped potential. Some of the main Calculus concepts that students encounter include approximation, integration, and convergence, which are based on the infinite approximation of limit. To ensure maximum content retention, students often need to re-visit important building blocks that they have forgotten or overlooked such as Bernoulli numbers or Green’s theorem.
