Differential and integral calculus: an
introduction
Differential calculus
Differential calculus is concerned about rate of change (slopes).
Integral calculus
Integral calculus is concerned about total (sums).
Knowing the rate of change of a function or knowing its sum at any value
is equivalent (fundamental theorem of calculus).

Functions
Definition
A function is a relation between an input and an output where every
input gets a single unique output

Limits - indeterminate form
The following forms are indeterminate meaning that there is not enough infor-
mation to make a decision:
0
, , 0, , 00 , 1 , and 0
0
Examples:
lim 0x = 0, lim x 0 = 1
x0+ x0

Limits - LHopitals rule
Definition
Lets suppose that
f (x) 0
lim = or
xa g (x) 0
where a is a real number and g 0 (x) 6= 0, x 6= a, then
f (x) f 0 (x)
lim = lim 0
xa g (x) xa g (x)

Derivatives
Definition
The derivative of the function f evaluated at a is given by:
df f (x) f (a)

Example:
Computation of the derivative of x 2 at x0

Total differentials and total derivatives
Definition of the total differential
f a function of u and v , f (u, v ), the total differential is defined as:
f f
df = du + dv
u v =cst v u=cst
Definition of an integral
An integral represents the sum of a function over an infinitesimal
change of the variable. It typically computes surfaces, volumes or
averages.
If the function f is continuous over an interval [a, b] divided into n equal
ba
segments of length x = and xi+1 = xi + x, we can write the
n
following definite integral as follows:
Z b n1
f (x) dx = lim f (xi ) x

Integration - different classes of integrals
Improper integral
An improper integral is an integral for which the function approaches limits at
the endpoints of the interval or the endpoints of the interval includes
(concept of convergence).
Example:
Z t
sin (x) sin (x)
Z
dx = lim dx =
0 x t 0 x 2
Be careful, not all integrals have a solution in terms of elementary functions.

Fundamental theorem of calculus
Integration and differentiation are inverse operations

then F is continuous on [a, b] and differentiable over the open (a, b). Its derivative is given by:
d
F (x) = f (x) , x (a, b)
dx
