The field of calculus is critical to the success and advancement of many Engineering and statistical systems. Calculus provides ways of analyzing transient quantities including data collected from sensors, determining area under a curve, fitting a line for predictive analytics, and price changes in the stock market. It is also core to the understanding of numerous probability distributions in statistics hence, a fundamental knowledge of this concept is crucial for a successful career in STEM. The project would abstract the complexities involved in the learning of calculus from students by providing simple yet relevant experiments that would boost the students interest in this field. The concepts of differentiation and integration would be practically demonstrated to students through affordable and portable circuits. The project would employ readily available circuit elements like inductors, capacitors, and Op Amps to demonstrate integration and differentiation to the students. By employing cheap components and portable circuits, students can afford and carry out these experiments in the classroom and at the comfort of their homes. These experiments will also enable the students appreciate the relevance of these concepts in the field of Engineering, Mathematics and other STEM fields.
