"..the derivative tells you how fast something is changing; the integral tells you how much it’s accumulating"
There is a nice piece on calculus from STEVEN STROGATZ writing in the New York Times.

About Me
- Name: Guy
- Location: Portsmouth, United Kingdom
My main non-academic interest is football. I have been a fanatical supporter of Watford Football Club since 1958. I was an occasional contributor to the unofficial Watford Supporters Web Fanzine Blind, Stupid and Desperate (BSaD) - sadly discontinued at the end of August 2006. I travel abroad when I can, especially to Greece which is my favourite place to be. In the last few years I have also visited Botswana, Cape Verde, Lebanon, Mauritius, South Africa, Syria and Zambia.
