The Campbell’s Soup Lab Argument Writing AP Calculus AB Follow-Up: Suppose you are the owner of Saucy Soup Company. You need to present an argument to your board of directors as to what shape soup can your company should sell. Some things to keep in mind: • ECONOMIC REQUIREMENTS: The product must be cost efficient. • FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS: The product must also be easy for retailers to store and stock on the shelves or the floor‚ and simple to process at a check-out counter

When calculus was invented‚ has always been a question in Math. The first signs of calculus were done by Greek mathematicians. Zeno of Elea of about 450 B.C. gave a number of problems which were based on the infinite. His argument was that motion is impossible. Other Greek mathematicians that contributed to the method of exhaustion are Leucippus‚ Democritus and Antiphon. The method of exhaustion is so called because one thinks of the areas measured expanding so that they account for more and more

CALCULUS Calculus is the study of change which focuses on limits‚ functions‚ derivaties‚ integrals‚ and infinite series. There are two main branches of calculus: differential calculus and integral calculus‚ which are connected by the fundamental theorem of calculus. It was discovered by two different men in the seventeenth century. Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz – a self taught German mathematician – and Isaac Newton - an English scientist - both developed calculus in the 1680s. Calculus is used in a

Sustainability and Calculus Introduction and Preview Calculus is all about change. Calculus provides the mathematical tools to examine important questions about dynamic behavior; e.g. how fast is the world population increasing? If we continuously release a pollutant into a lake at a known rate‚ what’s the total amount of pollutant that will be dumped into the water in the next five years? How long will the nonrenewable supplies of coal and oil last if we maintain the current per capita

1. Calculus is split into two branches‚ differential calculus and integral calculus. Differential calculus is used to find the rates of change for geometric curves. This means that differential calculus is used to find the slope or tangent along a specific direction of a geometric curve. This relates directly to change‚ because finding the slope or tangent of a geometric curve is essentially finding the rate of change for that geometric curve. The other branch of calculus‚ integral calculus‚ is concerned

History of Calculus Calculus is an integral part of the mathematics world. Various mathematicians coming from all parts of the world have shaped this theorem but the two main contributors are Sir Isaac Newton and Wilhelm Von Leibniz. The reason they are considered the inventors of Calculus is because they were able to give a unified approach to tangent and area problems unlike the others who used specific methods. Both of these mathematicians developed general concepts Newton was associated with

History of Calculus The history of calculus falls into several distinct time periods‚ most notably the ancient‚ medieval‚ and modern periods. The ancient period introduced some of the ideas of integral calculus‚ but does not seem to have developed these ideas in a rigorous or systematic way. Calculating volumes and areas‚ the basic function of integral calculus‚ can be traced back to the Egyptian Moscow papyrus (c. 1800 BC)‚ in which an Egyptian successfully calculated the volume of a pyramidal
