    Calculus concepts and techniques are used extensively in computer science, including in scientific computing, algorithm analysis and design, asymptotic enumeration, computer graphics, machine learning, data mining, bioinformatics, computer vision, and optimization. Specific uses of calculus include modeling physical systems with differential equations, analyzing behaviors of algorithms, estimating asymptotic properties with generating functions, and developing techniques in fields like computer graphics, machine learning, robotics, and information processing that incorporate calculus, linear algebra, and other mathematical topics.

    Application of calculus in computer science

    Computer science is the study of processes that interact with data and that can be
    represented as data in the form of programs. It is the theory, experimentation,
    and engineering that enables the use of algorithms to manipulate, store,
    and communicate digital information. A computer scientist studies the theory of
    computation and the practice of designing software systems.
    - Scientific computing. Computer algebra systems that compute integrals and
    derivatives directly, either symbolically or numerically, are the most blatant examples
    here, but in addition, any software that simulates a physical system that is based on
    continuous differential equations necessarily involves computing derivatives and
    integrals.
    - Design and analysis of algorithms. The behavior of a combinatorial algorithm on
    very large instances is often most easily analyzed using calculus. This is especially true
    for randomized algorithms; modern probability theory is heavily analytic.
    - Asymptotic enumeration. Sometimes the only way to get a handle on an enumeration
    problem is to form a generating function and use analytic methods to estimate its
    asymptotic behavior.

    Calculus in computer science


    Discrete mathematics, clearly necessary to CS, often draws on calculus concepts and
    techniques. Specific calculus topics are also useful in CS. Numerical analysis,
    computer graphics, computer vision, machine learning, data mining, and
    bioinformatics are riddled with calculus techniques and linear algebra.

    How/when is Calculus used in computer science?


    - Computer Graphics/Image Processing, and here you will also need Analytic
    Geometry and Linear Algebra.
    - Optimization, non-linear mostly, where multivariate Calculus is the fundamental
    language used to develop everything.
    - Probability/Statistics. These cannot be seriously studied without multivariate
    Calculus.
    Ex.
    - Machine Learning, which makes heavy use of Statistics.
    - Data Mining and related subjects, which also use lots of Statistics.
    - Robotics, where you will need to model physical movements of a robot, so you will
    need to know partial derivatives and gradients.
    Uses of calculus in computer science
    Graphs and visuals – They use calculus in creating visual or graphs.
    Application to solve problems – They use calculus for general problem solving
    applications, simulations, and physics engines.
    Code – In application for solving problems, the basic formula is generally used as well.
    Binary – It is a number system comprised of only ones and zeros that the computer
    uses to follow instructions and save data.
    Information processing – Computer programmers use this in creating statistic solvers,
    probability, and simulation.
