Demystifying Calculus for AI & Machine Learning

Ever wonder how AI can analyze vast amounts of data and make predictions with impressive accuracy? While complex algorithms play a crucial role, the foundation lies in a powerful mathematical tool: Calculus.

Think of calculus as the engine driving many AI applications. It provides the essential tools to measure change, a fundamental concept in understanding and manipulating data for AI tasks.

What is Calculus?

Calculus can be divided into two branches: differential calculus and integral calculus:

Differential Calculus: Imagine you're tracking the speed of a self-driving car. Differential calculus helps us calculate the rate of change of its speed at any given moment, allowing the car to adjust its acceleration or braking for a smooth and safe journey.

Integral Calculus: Now, imagine you want to know the total distance the car has traveled over a specific time. Integral calculus helps us calculate the accumulation of change (in this case, speed) over time, providing the total distance traveled.
