- Thus, the difference quotient can be interpreted as instantaneous velocity or as the slope of a tangent to a curve. It was the calculus that established this deep connection between geometry and physics—in the process transforming physics and giving a new impetus to the study of geometry.

Overview
At its core, MIT's Department of Mathematics explains, calculus is “the study of how things change.” It is an important area of study, the department notes, because “it provides a way for us to construct relatively simple quantitative models of change, and to deduce their consequences.”
There are many resources available online to help you learn more about calculus and its concepts. Following is a collection of 88 calculators separated by skill level and type.
