Calculus flips the switch from discrete to continuous and runs an infinitely fine comb over functions and the real number system, unlocking the answers to questions that stumped the most prodigious minds before the 1600s.
The concepts of limits, infinitesimal partitions, and continuously changing quantities paved the way to calculus, the universal tool for modeling continuous systems from physics to economics.
