What is fundamental about the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus?

Calculus consists of two main topics -- differentiation and integration. Differentiation is concerned with 'rates of change', for example the rate at which the position of a m…oving object is changing with respect to time, otherwise known as velocity. Integration is concerning with computing areas,volumes, and lenght by first approximating the region as the sum of many smaller regions which are simpler to compute, and taking the limit as the number of smaller regions increases to infinity. At first sight, it doesn't seem like these two topics -- differentiation and integration -- have anything to do with one another. In fact, in a calculus course either one could be presented first since it wouldn't require knowledge of the other one (traditionally, differentiation is taught first, then integration, but it isn't necessary to do them in this order.) However, the amazing fact is that these two seemingly unrelated problems are completely intertwined.\n. \nThe Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, one of the most amazing and profound results in all of mathematics, spells out just how the processes of differentiation and integration are related -- they are essentially reverse operations of one another, or two sides of the same coin. The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus is so named because it ties together the two main themes of the subject.\n. \n F ( x ) = f ( t ) dt is a function\n. \nthen we have = f ( t ) dt \n. \nbut since Since dt = h we have\n. \n- f ( x ) = f ( t ) - f ( x ) dt .\n. \n and using the continuity of F(t), we have the following equality. \n. \n - f ( x ) = 0 . Now, the punch line! The function F ( x ) is differentiable and F '( x ) = f ( x ). Many calculus books have two parts to the FTC (Fundamental Theorem of Calculus) \n. \nPart one states that the area under a section of a curve is the antiderivative evaulated at the upper limit minus the lower limit. That is: Integral ( f(x) dx) from a to b = F(b) - F(a) where b is the upper boundary and a is the lower boundary and Part two states that the derivate of integration is the integrand: d/dx integral (f(t) dt) from 0 to x = f(x) where x is the upper boundary and 0 is the lower boundary. So what went into the integral that you derive is the result. Note: it really helps to see the pictures of what is going on. . (MORE)

What is Biblical fundamentalism?

Biblical fundamentalism refers to the strict adherence of the 5 major fundamentals of Bible teaching: 1. Inerrency of the Bible, 2. Virgin Birth of Christ, 3. The Diety …of Christ, 4. The Bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ, 5. The substitutionary Blood atonement of Christ on the cross. This was strong among Presbyterian and Baptist Churches. Since the 20s, a number of Baptist churches continued with the emphasis and often refer to themselves as Fundamental Baptist (or Independent Fundamental Baptist). Answer from a Catholic Extracted from Catholicism and Fundamentalism - The Attack on "Romanism" by "Bible Christians " by Karl Keating, Ignatius Press, 1988 The basic elements of [Biblical] fundamentalism were formulated at the beginning of the 20 th century at the Princeton Theological Seminary at Princeton, New Jersey by Benjamin B. Warfield, Charles Hodge, and their associates. What they produced became known as Princeton theology . . . Between 1909 and 1915 the brother Milton and Lyman Steward, - - - underwrote the Fundamentals , a series of twelve paperback books . . . that would set forth the fundamentals of the Christian faith and which were sent free to ministers of the gospel, missionaries, Sunday school superintendents, and others engaged in aggressive Christian work throughout the English-speaking world. Three million copies were distributed. Aside from studies of strictly doctrinal matters, there were attacks on modern biblical criticism, critiques of scientific theories, personal testimonies, commentaries on missionary work and evangelization, and accounts of heresies. The last category included essays on "Catholicism: Is It Christian?" and "Rome, the Antagonist of the Nation". There were as many as fourteen points, most commentators agree on at least these five (1) the inspiration and infallibility of Scripture; (2) the deity of Christ, including his Virgin Birth; (3) the substitutionary atonement of his death; (4) his literal resurrection from the dead; and (5) his literal return in the Second coming. The coiner of the word "Fundamentalism" goes to Curtis Lee Law, who, in an editorial for the New York Watchman-Examiner of July 1, 1920, defined "fundamentalists" as those "who mean to do battle for the fundamentals.
