  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Real Analysis on Intervals

Abstract

Differential calculus is devoted to the study of differentiable functions. Historically, there were two sources of differential calculus: the problem of finding the slope of the tangent line to the graph of a function, and the problem of finding the instantaneous speed of a moving object.
