The essence of calculus

This video demystifies calculus by showing how its core ideas, including integrals and derivatives, can be intuitively discovered through geometric reasoning. Learn to derive the area of a circle by slicing it into rings, revealing the fundamental concepts of calculus in a visually engaging way.

• Derive the area of a circle using concentric rings and summation.
• Understand integrals as the area under a graph and their general applicability.
• Introduce derivatives as a measure of change and their relation to integrals.
