		Calculus required continuity, and continuity was supposed to require the infinitely little; but nobody could discover what the infinitely little might be. - Russell, Bertrand (1872-1970) Calculus has its limits. - anonymous

AP Calculus BC

Calculus BC is a full-year course in the calculus of functions of a single variable. It includes all topics covered in Calculus AB plus additional topics. Both courses represent college-level mathematics for which most colleges grant advanced placement and credit. The content of Calculus BC is designed to qualify the student for placement and credit in a course that is one course beyond that granted for Calculus AB. (College Board)

Calculus is the study of rates of change and was developed by Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibniz in the later half of the seventeenth century. Differential calculus determines the rate of change of a quantity. Integral calculus finds the quantity where the rate of change is known.
