Visualizing Calculus with Interactive Labs

Calculus becomes easier when students can see the behavior of functions in motion.

Derivative intuition

The derivative tracks how fast a function changes at each point.

f'(x) = lim_{h o 0} rac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}

Short, repeated experiments create stronger conceptual memory than one long lecture.
