Integration vs Differentiation Integration and Differentiation are two fundamental concepts in calculus, which studies the change. Calculus has a wide variety of applications in many fields such as science, economy or finance, engineering and etc. Differentiation Differentiation is the algebraic procedure of calculating the derivatives. Derivative of a function is the slope or the gradient of the curve (graph) at any given point. Gradient of a curve at any given point is the gradient of the tangent drawn to that curve at the given point. For non linear curves, the gradient of the curve can vary at different points along the axis. Therefore, it is difficult to calculate the gradient or the slope at any point. Differentiation process is useful in calculating the gradient of the curve at any point. Another definition for derivative is, “the change of a property with respect to a unit change of another property.” Let f(x) be a function of an independent variable x. If a s...
