Developed by Newton and Leibniz in the 17th century it offered scientists a way of modeling kinematic and dynamic systems. Position, velocity and acceleration are related by differential or integral calculus. Calculus is used to derive the algebraic equations you see in HS and College textbooks. Some HS courses in physics work directly with calculus, others only with the algebraic formulas. | |
