Calculus Differential Calculus Pharmacokinetics is the study of drug disposition (movement) in the body and thus differential calculus is an important stepping stone in the development of many of the equations used. Although I won't stress the derivation of equations in this course, some of the derivations will be covered and an understanding of the derivations will assist in the use of the equations. Differential calculus is involved with the study of rates of processes. The calculus part comes in when we look at these processes in detail, that is, during small time intervals. We may say that at time zero a patient has a concentration of 25 ug/ml of a drug in plasma and at time 24 hours the concentration is 5 ug/ml. That may be interesting in its self, but it doesn't give us any idea of the concentration between and 24 hours, or after 24 hours. Using differential calculus we are able to develop equations to look at the process during the small time intervals that make up the total time interval of to 24 hours. Then we can calculate concentrations at any time after the dose is given. In many cases the rate of elimination of a drug can be described as being dependent on or proportional to the amount of drug remaining to be eliminated. That is, the process obeys first order kinetics. Thus:-

List of integrals Calculus is a branch of mathematics , developed from algebra and geometry . Calculus focuses on rates of change (within functionss ), such as accelerations, curves , and slopes. The development of calculus is credited to Archimedes Leibniz and Newton ; lesser credit is given to Barrow Descartes de Fermat Huygens , and Wallis . Fundamental to calculus are derivatives, integrals , and limitss . One of the primary motives for the development of modern calculus was to solve the so-called " tangent line problem There are two main branches of calculus: Differential calculus is concerned with finding the instantaneous rate of change (or derivative ) of a function's value , with respect to changes within the function's arguments . Another application of differential calculus is Newton's method , an algorithm to find zeros of a function by approximating the function by its tangent. de Fermat is sometimes described as the "father" of differential calculus.

About Math 131 First-year calculus is usually divided into two parts (terms): differential calculus and integral calculus. Briefly, differential calculus is concerned with rates of change ("the slope problem") and integral calculus is concerned with area, in particular the area in the plane enclosed by arbitrary curves. The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus shows how these different concerns are essentially the two faces of a single coin. Having completed a "tour" of differential calculus, you are now prepared to focus on integral calculus. To prove the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus requires us to connect the process of antidifferentiation to the notion of area under a curve. You know how to find the areas of some regions: squares, rectangles, triangles (using triangles you can figure out the area of any polygon), and circles. While you might be able to justify the area formula for a rectangle, it is unlikely that you could give a satisfactory proof for the area formula of a circle. In fact, there is a more fundamental problem here: What is area?

Differential Calculus . We have a curve describing the variable Y as some function of the variable X: Various straight lines are drawn tangent to the curve Y = f(X). Only one of these can lie flat, i.e., have a slope of zero, the one shown here as b=0. Any line tangent to the left or right of that (X=i, X=k) will connect with higher values of Y. So at the value X=j, Y is at a minimum. This is obvious from the graph. If we have the equation for Y we can also determine what the minimum is, provided there is one. For any curve described by the equation where a is a constant and n is an exponent, the slope of a tangent line, called the "derivative", will be given by There are other rules (for logarithms and trigonometric functions, e.g.) presented in any elementary calculus text, but they need not concern us here. If the original equation contains several terms, differentiation is performed on each term separately: Once we have the derivative we can set it equal to zero , then solve to identify the value of X which minimizes Y. Technically, the derivative (slope of the tangent line) equal to zero applies when Y is at a minimum or a maximum (and also at what is called a point of inflection, not shown):

Who invented it? When and how did it develop? Why is it harder than the math I know already? (In what ways is it easier) What problems inspired its creation? In what ways did its historical setting change its development, and how did its development affect history in general? How did it change the way mathematicians and other people think about mathematical knowledge? Readings of original sources in English translation range from Babylonian mathematical tablets through Euclid and Archimedes, Oresme, Galileo, Leibniz and Newton, to Cauchy, Riemann and Robinson.

dansmath lessons calculus 1 Limits Differential Calculus (Check out the ANIMATION!) Integral Calculus (updated 3/99) Vector Calculus (top of page) Limits (Sequences, functions, graphs) What do the numbers 1/1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, . . . get closer and closer to? It may be clear that they approach zero, so we say the limit is 0. The nth term is 1/n, so the notation is lim 1/n = 0. (The -> means "approaches"; the oo is a cheesy infinity symbol.) f(x) = lim 1/x = 0. On the graph we'd have a horizontal asymptote at y = since the output values approach as the graph goes off to the right. (Click here to review functions or graphing.) Example 1: [x+3] = 6. Example 2: Let g(x) = (x^2 - 9) / (x - 3) . By algebra, we have g(x) = (x + 3)(x - 3) / (x - 3) and if x =/= 3 then we can cancel, so g(x) = x + 3 if x =/= 3. Notice that f(3) = 6 but g(3) is undefined. The f(x) from example 1 has domain "all real numbers," but the g(x) from example 2 has domain "all reals except 3," so they're different functions. But the limit as x -> 3 is the same in both cases: lim f(x) = lim Example 3: Some other interesting limits: lim [(sin x) / x] = 1 lim [(1 + x)^(1/x)] = e = 2.71828 approx

Search Subject Index MathMap Tour ... Help! Index using Historical Classification Systems Here are the top-level areas of mathematics and related fields classified according to two systems used early in the twentieth century. The first is the system used in the " Catalogue of Scientific Papers 1800-1900 " published by the Royal Society of London in 1908; they continued using this classification system for another decade or so as Schedule A (Pure Mathematics) of the International Catalogue of Scientific Literature. The system often subdivides these roughly 200 headings into unnumbered subheadings, not shown. The second is the set of about a hundred headings used by the " " near the time it slowed publication about 1931. (Publication began about 1880, and ended around 1945.) These systems are included primarily for historical interest; many of the most active fields of research during the twentieth century correspond to no field in these schemes. However, traces of these systems can be seen in the Mathematics Subject Classification (MSC) scheme developed several decades later and, with modifications, still used to classify current publications. The MSC is the basis for the organization of materials at this site. (In addition, the Library of Congress scheme includes several passages nearly identical to portions of the Royal Society schedules.)
