- Introduction: What Is Calculus? - Opens in a new window
Calculus is the mathematics of change; comparisons of algebra and calculus are described and demonstrated. Graphing is briefly reviewed. - Linear Functions - Opens in a new window
This program demonstrates data sets and linear functions by graphing current oil consumption and then using the data to predict future demand.
Part of the series 'Algebra Applications' - The Math Code: Prediction - Opens in a new window
In this program, Professor Marcus de Sautoy discusses mathematical models that help predict outcomes, touching on game theory, chaos theory, and the butterfly effect. - Probability vs. Statistics - Opens in a new window
Probability uses a mathematical model to make predictions about the real world, while statistics uses real world data to draw conclusions about a mathematical model. - Quadratic Functions - Opens in a new window
In this program quadratic functions are used to model the arc of footballs and fireworks as they fall, and to determine how fast a car was moving at the time of an accident.
