Daily Life Uses of Differentiation and Integration

Calculus was developed to improve understanding of how celestial bodies move with respect to each other, which was previously lacking and led to shipwrecks. Differentiation and integration can help solve many real-world problems across various fields like engineering, economics, geography, and aviation. Specifically, integration is used to calculate areas under and between curves, volumes of objects with curved sides, centroids, moments of inertia, work with variable forces, electric charge interactions, and average values of curves.

DAILY LIFE USES OF DIFFERENTIATION AND

INTEGRATION
In Isaac Newton's day, one of the biggest problems was poor navigation
at sea.
Before calculus was developed, the stars were vital for navigation.
Shipwrecks occurred because the ship was not where the captain
thought it should be. There was not a good enough understanding of
how the Earth, stars and planets moved with respect to each other.
Calculus (differentiation and integration) was developed to improve this
understanding.
Differentiation and integration can help us solve many types of real-world
problems.
We use the derivative to determine the maximum and minimum values
of particular functions (e.g. cost, strength, amount of material used in a
building, profit, loss, etc.).
Derivatives are met in many engineering and science problems,
especially when modeling the behavior of moving objects.
Our discussion begins with some general applications which we can
then apply to specific problems.
1. It is used ECONOMIC a lot, calculus is also a base of economics
2.it is used in history, for predicting the life of a stone
3.it is used in geography, which is used to study the gases present in the
atmosphere
4. It is mainly used in daily by pilots to measure the pressure n the air.

INTEGRATION:
1. Applications of the Indefinite Integral shows how to find displacement
(from velocity) and velocity (from acceleration) using the indefinite
integral. There are also some electronics applications.

In primary school, we learnt how to find areas of shapes with straight


sides (e.g. area of a triangle or rectangle). But how do you find areas
when the sides are curved? e.g.
2. Area under a Curve and
3. Area in between the two curves. Answer is by Integration.
4. Volume of Solid of Revolution explains how to use integration to find
the volume of an object with curved sides, e.g. wine barrels.
5. Centroid of an Area means the cenetr of mass. We see how to use
integration to find the centroid of an area with curved sides.
6. Moments of Inertia explain how to find the resistance of a rotating
body. We use integration when the shape has curved sides.
7. Work by a Variable Force shows how to find the work done on an
object when the force is not constant.
8. Electric Charges have a force between them that varies depending on
the amount of charge and the distance between the charges. We use
integration to calculate the work done when charges are separated.
9. Average Value of a curve can be calculated using integration.
