Imagine being given the equation y=x 3 -2x+3, and being asked to find the tangent to the curve at the point where x=1. The tangent to the curve will be a straight line, and therefore will take the form y=mx+...

Calculus is the maths of change. This sounds familiar; In mechanics changing distances, velocities etc... In motor sport Integration would be the sum of momentum over time to find the kinetic energy. This co...

Every subject has a paticular career path. Maths is an exception which is at the forfront of most things. Anytime you saw data, results, surveys, polls, predictions, forecasts, returns & any others that ...

A function represents a quantity. For example the function s = (6t 2 + 4t) m, could represent displacement. The unknown t is inputted to find the displacement an object travels at a certain time. The differe...

This problem is a graphical representation of finding the solutions to a pair of simultaneous equations. In this example we will use the curves y=2x 2 , and y=x 2 +1. This is a very straightforward example, ...
