 What is Calculus?
British Scientist Sir Isaac Newton (1642-1727) invented this new field of mathematics. ‘Calculus’ is a Latin
word, which means ‘stone.’ Romans used stones for counting. For the counting of infinitely smaller
numbers, Mathematicians began using the same term, and the name stuck.
Though it was proved that some basic ideas of Calculus were known to our Indian Mathematicians,
Newton & Leibnitz initiated a new era of mathematics. There are a large number of applications of
calculus in our daily life. It can’t be possibly illustrated in a single view. I’m trying to describe them shortly
here.

Applications of calculus in engineering

 Calculus is used in every branch of the physical science`
 Engineering
 computer science
 Biology
 Statistics
 Medicine
 Economics.
 Business
 actuarial science
 Demography
 chemistry
 Application In Engineering
 Electrical Engineering: In Electrical Engineering, Calculus (Integration) is used to determine the exact length of
power cable needed to connect two substations, which are miles away from each other.

 Civil Engineering: Many aspects of civil engineering require calculus. Firstly, derivation of the basic fluid mechanics
equations requires calculus. For example, all hydraulic analysis programs, which aid in the design of storm drain
and open channel systems, use calculus numerical methods to obtain the results. In hydrology, volume is calculated
as the area under the curve of a plot of flow versus time and is accomplished using calculus.

 Mechanical Engineering: Many examples of the use of calculus are found in mechanical engineering, such as
computing the surface area of complex objects to determine frictional forces, designing a pump according to flow
rate and head, and calculating the power provided by a battery system. Newton's law of cooling is a governing
differential equation in HVAC design that requires integration to solve.

 Aerospace Engineering: Numerous examples of the use of calculus can be found in aerospace engineering. Thrust
over time calculated using the ideal rocket equation is an application of calculus. Analysis of rockets that function
in stages also requires calculus, as does gravitational modeling over time and space. Almost all physics models,
especially those of astronomy and complex systems, use some form of calculus.

 Structural Engineering: In structural engineering, calculus is used to determine the forces in complex
configurations of structural elements. Structural analysis relating to seismic design requires calculus. In a soil
structure context, calculations of bearing capacity and shear strength of soil are done using calculus, as is the
determination of lateral earth pressure and slope stability in complex situations.

 Computer engineering: In computer science Broadly speaking calculus is the study of continuous change, so
anything that changes in a continuous way will involve calculus. ... Calculus is used mostly in games, simulations
and some other softwares. It is used in graphics programming, image processing and (maybe?) signal processing.
 Application in others
 Application in Medical Science
 Biologists use differential calculus to determine the exact rate of growth in a bacterial culture when different
variables such as temperature and food source are changed.
 Application in Physics
 In Physics, Integration is very much needed. For example, to calculate the Centre of Mass, Centre of Gravity and
Mass Moment of Inertia of a sports utility vehicle.
To calculate the velocity and trajectory of an object, predict the position of planets, and understand
electromagnetism.
 Application in Statistics
 Statisticians use calculus to evaluate survey data to help develop business plans for different companies. Because
a survey involves many different questions with a range of possible answers, calculus allows a more accurate
prediction for the appropriate action.
 Application in Research Analysis
 An operations research analyst will use calculus when observing different processes at a manufacturing
corporation. By considering the value of different variables, they can help a company improve operating
efficiency, increase production, and raise profits.
 Application in Graphics
 A graphics artist uses calculus to determine how different three-dimensional models will behave when subjected
to rapidly changing conditions. It can create a realistic environment for movies or video games.
 Application in Chemistry
 It is used to determine the rate of a chemical reaction and to determine some necessary information of
Radioactive decay reaction.
 Application in economics
 calculus allows for the determination of maximal profit by providing a way to easily calculate both marginal cost
and marginal revenue. enabling economists to predict maximum profit in a specific setting.
 Application in Biology
 population dynamics starts with reproduction and death rates to model population changes.
 The field of epidemiology — the study of the spread of infectious disease — relies heavily on calculus. It can be
used to determine how far and fast a disease is spreading, where it may have originated from and how to best
treat it
