BSc (NEP) - I Sem - Differential Calculus
Differential Calculus: An Overview for BSc (NEP) - I Semester Students
In the first semester of the Bachelor of Science (BSc) program under the National Education Policy (NEP), students encounter the topic of Differential Calculus, a fundamental concept that plays a critical role in various fields of science and engineering. This branch of calculus focuses on the study of change, helping us understand the rate at which quantities change in relation to one another.
Let’s take a closer look at Differential Calculus, particularly focusing on its key concepts and applications, as they will be essential for your academic journey.
What is Differential Calculus?
Differential Calculus is primarily concerned with the concept of the derivative, which measures the rate of change of a function with respect to one of its variables. In simple terms, it tells us how one quantity changes in relation to another.
For instance, if a function represents the position of a moving object over time, the derivative of that function will give us the velocity of the object at any given instant. This concept of the rate of change is at the core of differential calculus.
