Description: Calculus is about change. One function tells how quickly another function is changing.

Professor Strang shows how calculus applies to ordinary life situations, such as:
* driving a car
* climbing a mountain
* growing to full adult height

Calculus finds the relationship between
the distance traveled and the speed
- easy for constant speed, not so easy for changing speed.
Professor Strang is finding the "rate of change"
and the "slope of a curve" and the "derivative of a function."
