Calculus
Calculus is the study of continuous change. Modern calculus was developed by Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibniz in the 17th century.

Calculus provides equations for calculating change much more efficiently than is possible using simple enumeration. Because Machine Learning relies heavily on change calculation, the efficiency provided by calculus is essential.

Training Machine Learning models and performing predictions using those models involves change measurement, and calculus is used extensively for these operations.
“A passion for calculus can unlock new worlds.”
“Calculus is the greatest aid we have to the application of physical truth in the broadest sense of the word.”
“Calculus works by making visible the infinitesimally small.”
