Calculus

Calculus – a word that strikes fear into even the most conscientious of students. But as Tim and Moby demonstrate in this BrainPOP UK movie, there’s really nothing to be afraid of. In this educational, animated movie you’ll learn how calculus is used to measure things that are constantly changing, like irregular shapes and curvy lines. Rather than get bogged down in equations, formulas and jargon, Tim will explain the basic concepts behind calculus. He’ll show you how calculus is really just a way of magnifying a complex system, in order to break it up into simple parts, billions of them. Plus, you’ll see how when you get close enough to a curved line, it actually straightens out! You’ll also learn the difference between differential and integral calculus, the two main branches of calculus and you’ll hear about some of the many ways in which calculus is used every day!
