Ok so we learn calculus in 2unit right?
I am thinkin of how I could use it in real world, like I wanna know the equation of water dripping down the faucet and calculate how long it would take to fill one bucket, rate after 10 mins etc. and to many other things lol.

btw, I think calculus is easier than geometry, series, .. lol maybe coz i didnt study in year 11.

yea we do but i was thinking like how do you find the equation of something ( e.g. equation of dripping water in a faucet) something like that

I think you do it later... but you find at what rate the water drips into a cylindrical shape or how long it takes a cone to fill up with water if the water is falling at a constant rate etc etc

check in your 2 unit book.. if its not there then its a 3 unit topic
