Underlying all of these topics is the concept of a limit, which consists of analyzing the behavior of a function at points ever closer to a particular point, but without ever actually reaching that point. Calculus has two basic applications: differential calculus and integral calculus.

Another view would be subjective in nature, in other words an educated guess. In this course we will mostly be concerned with theoretical probability, which is defined as follows: Suppose there is a situation with \(n\) equally likely possible outcomes and that \(m\) of those \(n\) outcomes correspond to a particular event; then the probability of that event is defined as \(\dfrac{m}{n}\).

Calculus is important in all branches of mathematics, science, and engineering, and it is critical to analysis in business and health as well. In this chapter, we explore one of the main tools of calculus, the derivative, and show convenient ways to calculate derivatives. We apply these rules to a variety of functions in this chapter.

Vectors have many real-life applications, including situations involving force or velocity. For example, consider the forces acting on a boat crossing a river. The boat’s motor generates a force in one direction, and the current of the river generates a force in another direction. Both forces are vectors. We must take both the magnitude and direction of each force into account if we want to know where the boat will go.
