Calculus in Engineering
Calculus is used to examine and analyse changes on a big or small scale, such as zero or infinity. Engineeres use this tool for many types of different tasks in their daily work.
Some engineers prefer to use equations directly, while others use computer
programs to make the calculations.

In Robotics:
Engineers which dedicate to design and build next-gen robots, for example, need to know how limbs move when a command is given. This nearly allways is true when the limbs have some degree of freedom of motion, where engineers must use calculus to determine the likehood of a limb being at a certain spot and at a specific time.
In Systems Design:
Electrical and computer engineers need to develop new systems for specific needs and tasks, such as gas regulation or heat diffusion. Many of the development of these systems require calculus which is used to determine limits and boundaries of the new systems and how they can dertermine the values of the measurements.
In Aerospace:
Aerospace engineers use calculus, for example, when porforming flow simulations with computers. In this case, they solve equations called Navier-Stokes equations, which are basically differential equations, which can be used to describe the momentum, density and energy of air flow produced by an aircraft. From these properties, aerospace engineers can derive the same infomation as if they had carried out the tests in a wind tunnel, but at a lower price.
As you can see, calculus is a very important part of any engineering, and mastering it will certainly mean success as an engineer.
I hope you enjoyed. Don't forget to comment, and give your oppinion about calculus in engineering.
See you later!!
