Calculus: Its real world applications

From Medicine to Architecture, Calculus is a cornerstone of countless industries. Discuss with an Architect how to use Calculus to determine forces of compression and tension in designing a sturdy foundation that takes into account extraordinary events, such as earthquakes, as well as developing structures that rise hundreds of feet into the air. A Pharmacologist discusses the use of Calculus to determine the concentrations of medical ingredients. A Mechanical Engineer discusses how Calculus is used to develop new alternative energy vehicles. Finally, learn from an Economist how derivatives and integrals are used to maximize profit and minimize loss by calculating the costs involved in the production of materials using demand theory as well as constrained optimization.
