Calculus
The word Calculus comes from Latin meaning "small stone",
Because it is like understanding something by looking at small pieces.
Differential Calculus cuts something into small pieces to find how it changes.
Integral Calculus joins (integrates) the small pieces together to find how much there is.

Limits
Limits are all about approaching. Sometimes you can't work something out directly, but you can see what it should be as you get closer and closer!

Derivatives (Differential Calculus)
The Derivative is the "rate of change" or slope of a function.

Differential Equations
In our world things change, and describing how they change often ends up as a Differential Equation: an equation with a function and one or more of its derivatives:
