"So what’s calculus? In a sentence: If it moves at a varying speed, if it has a curvy shape, if it has a maximum that you’d like to find, or if it involves adding up an infinite number of terms, then you’re probably looking at calculus." - Stanley F. Schmidt, Ph. D.

y = x to the power of ½.
That equation makes me laugh!

That equation makes me sigh!
y = 2x2 - x.
That's more interesting than a T-rex!
12x2 - y3 = 24.
Differentiating it is not a chore.
