Visual calculus

Visual calculus is like using pictures and graphics to help understand math problems. Imagine you have a box filled with candy. If we want to know how many candies are inside, we need to count them one by one. But with visual calculus, we can draw a picture of the box and split it into smaller parts.

For example, imagine we split the box into two halves. We can then count how many candies are in one half and multiply that by 2 to get the total number of candies in the whole box. This is an example of using visual calculus to solve a problem.

Visual calculus can also be used for more complex problems, like calculating the area of a circle or finding the slope of a graph. By using pictures and graphics, we can better understand the math and solve problems more easily.
