The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Calculus is a powerful mathematical tool. But for hundreds of years after its invention in the 17th century, it stood on a shaky ...

In the late 19th century, Karl Weierstrass invented a fractal-like function that was decried as nothing less than a “deplorable evil.” In time, it would transform the foundations of mathematics.

Students pursuing or likely to pursue majors in Mathematics, Chemistry, Geophysics, Geology-Geophysics, or Physics, or following the B.S. program in Computer Science, should take one of the Calculus ...

Finding the area under a curve is a central task in calculus. This process is called finding the definite integral. Microsoft Excel does not have native calculus functions, but you can map your data ...

Fractional calculus extends the classical notions of differentiation and integration to non-integer orders, offering an adaptable framework that is particularly well suited to modelling anomalous ...
