its really not though. calculus is a way of thinking and approaching a problem. calculus can give you areas of odd 3-d surfaces which algebra cannot do alone. also calculus deals in limits. algebra and calculus work hand in hand though.
>>
>>8881036
Doesn't algebra work hand in hand with pretty much any topic that comes after it?
>>
You can get answers with applying limits that you can't with algebra "trancendental numbers
Also I don't know if trig counts as algebra but it doesnt seem like it
>>
>>8881041
yes, algebra is a way of thinking and its helpful in almost any situation of area of study.
>>
>>8880894
Algebra is exact , calculus is approximations
>>
>>8881054
Calculus can find very exact answers though
Algebra can also find numbers that can only be approximated because of irrational
>>
>>8881065
limits are an idea which is approximating f(x) as x approaches infinity. limits are used in the explanations of integrals and derivatives

>calculus is approximations
Calculus uses approximations by using arbitrarily small manipulations. You can do simple "calculus" by treating dx as .00000001 and still figure out the derivitave of x^2=2x. It uses an approximation but the answer is exact as can be because the tiny dx disappears from the final answer through algebra
The only answers that are approximate is irrationals
>>
>>8881065
An infinitely accurate approximation is still an approximation.
>>
Calculus is where algebra, geometry, and trig all come together and you see how powerful math really is and learn real-world applications.
>>
>>8881527
No you fucking faggot, you probably think 0.999.. ≠ 1

Correction:

Calculus is just analysis with a wheelchair.
>>
>>8880894
Calculus is by and large just as procedural as elementary algebra. That's why many countries teach derivatives and integrals in high school.
>>
>>8881593
It really depends on the context.
>>
>>8881634
>That's why many countries teach derivatives and integrals in high school.
Are you implying that there are countries that don't?
>>
>>8881705
I don't think they do in Liberia.
>>
>>8881705
I didn't learn any in HS.
>>
>>8881113
It depends on your definition of algebra.

I would argue the tiny dx disappears from the final answer through analysis since "treating it as 0.00000001" is essentially the same as finding a satisfactory epsilon. Can that be considered algebra? Yeah since you're manipulating inequalities but no in the sense that the algebra itself isn't whats emphasized (the hard part.)

Again though
>>8881619

Most of the notions you're talking about are grossly generalized to call them algebra. It's not algebra with formulas; its analysis in black and white.
>>
>>8881714
Better yet, its just analysis thats readable to someone with little experience outside of your average college algebra.
>>
>>8881728
But my college algebra was just shit about field extensions. That stuff is pointless for analysis.
>>
>>8881705
they probably did just not the easy way for some reason.
>>
>>8881087
math graduate actually
>>
Algebra is about variable transformations whereas calculus is about the area under a curve.
>>
>>8881113
>the tiny dx disappears from the final answer through algebra

it disappears because of the limit concept or any equivalent characterisation.
>>
>>8883033
change major desu
>>
>>8881705
My high school taught derivatives but certainly did not teach integrals.
>>
>>8884473
Is there even a point to knowing integrals unless you're a computer scientist trying to write a more efficient way of calculating them?
>>
>>8880894
>>8884376
>>
>>8883210
Yeah, like the algebra involved in taking the standard part.
>>
>>8884450
For being correct?
>>
>>8881705
Only third world countries, like mine, go deep into calculus in highschool because there's too much competition.
