ACKNOWLEDGE
After weeks of struggle and hard work to complete assignment given to us by our teacher ,Mr.
Saini Bin Bakar. I finally did it within 2 weeks with satisfaction and senses of success because I
have understood more deeply about the interest and investment more than before. I have to be
grateful and thankful to all parties who have helped me in the process of completing my
assignment. It was a great experience for me as I have learnt to be more independent and to work
as group. For this, I would like to take this opportunity to express my thankfulness once again to
all parties concerned.
Firstly, I would like to thanks my Additional Mathematics· teacher, Mr. Saini bin Bakar
for patiently explained to us the proper and precise way to complete this assignment. With his
help and guidance, many problems I have encountered had been solved.
Beside that, I would like to thanks my parents for all their support and encouragement
they have given to me. In addition, my parents had given me guidance on the methods to account
for investment which have greatly enhanced my knowledge on particular area. Last but not least,
I would like to express my thankfulness to my cousin and friends, who have patiently explained
to me and did this project with me in group.

INTRODUCTION
Calculus is a branch in mathematics focused on limits, functions, derivatives, integrals,
and infinite series. This subject constitutes a major part of modern mathematics education. It has
two major branches, differential calculus and integral calculus, which are related bythe fundamental theorem of calculus. Calculus is the study of change, in the same way
that geometry is the study of shape and algebra is the study of operations and their application to
solving equations. A course in calculus is a gateway to other, more advanced courses in
mathematics devoted to the study of functions and limits, broadly called mathematical analysis.
Calculus has widespread applications in science, economics, and engineering and can solve
many problems for which algebra alone is insufficient.
Historically, calculus was called "the calculus of infinitesimals", or "infinitesimal calculus".
More generally, calculus may refer to any method or system of calculation guided by the
symbolic manipulation of expressions. Some examples of other well-known calculi
are propositional calculus, variational calculus, lambda calculus, pi calculus, and join calculus.

History
The product rule and chain rule, the notion of higher derivatives, Taylor series, and analytical
functions were introduced by Isaac Newton in an idiosyncratic notation which he used to solve
problems of mathematical physics. In his publications, Newton rephrased his ideas to suit the
mathematical idiom of the time, replacing calculations with infinitesimals by equivalent
geometrical arguments which were considered beyond reproach. He used the methods of
calculus to solve the problem of planetary motion, the shape of the surface of a rotating fluid, the
oblateness of the earth, the motion of a weight sliding on a cycloid, and many other problems
discussed in his Principia Mathematica. In other work, he developed series expansions for
functions, including fractional and irrational powers, and it was clear that he understood the
principles of the Taylor series.
These ideas were systematized into a true calculus of infinitesimals by Gottfried Wilhelm
Leibniz, who was originally accused of plagiarism by Newton. He is now regarded as an
independent inventor of and contributor to calculus. His contribution was to provide a clear set of
rules for manipulating infinitesimal quantities, allowing the computation of second and higher
derivatives, and providing the product rule and chain rule, in their differential and integral forms.
Unlike Newton, Leibniz paid a lot of attention to the formalism ± he often spent days
determining appropriate symbols for concepts.
Leibniz and Newton are usually both credited with the invention of calculus. Newton was the
first to apply calculus to general physics and Leibniz developed much of the notation used in
calculus today. The basic insights that both Newton and Leibniz provided were the laws of
differentiation and integration, second and higher derivatives, and the notion of an approximating
polynomial series. By Newton's time, the fundamental theorem of calculus was known.

Structure 4
(ii) As the president of the Arts Club, I will decide Structure 4 as the shape of the gate to be
constructed. It is because Structure 4 will cost the minimum and it is easier to be constructed
compared to Structure 1 which is a curve.

(b) (i)
(ii) There is a pattern in the area to be painted.
The area to be painted decreases as the k increases 0.25m and form a series of
numbers:
3, 2.9375, 2.875, 2.8125, 2.75, 2.6875, 2.625, 2.5625, 2.5
We can see that the difference between each term and the next term is the
same.

We can deduce that this series of numbers is an Arithmetic Progression
(AP), with a common difference,
In conclusion, when k increases 0.25m, the area to be painted decreases by
-0.0625

The shape of the concrete structure will be a rectangle with length 4m and

Conclusion
After doing research, answering questions, drawing graphs and some problem
solving, I saw that the usage of calculus is important in daily life.It is not just widely used
in science, economics but also in engineering. In conclusion, calculus is a daily life
nessecities. Without it, marvelous buildings can¶t be built, human beings will not lead a
luxurious life and many more. So, we should be thankful of the people who contribute in
the idea of calculus.
