Differential calculus describes and analyzes change. The position of a moving object, the population of a city or a bacterial colony, the height of the sun in the sky, and the price of cheese all change with time. Altitude can change with position along a road; the pressure inside a balloon changes with temperature. To measure the rate of change in all these situations, we introduce in this chapter the operation of differentiation.
