Week 1 Calculus Big Picture Introto Function

This document provides an overview of calculus and functions. It defines calculus as the mathematics of change and discusses how it was discovered by Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibniz. It then gives examples of how calculus is used to model climate change, data prediction, and the COVID-19 outbreak in Wuhan. The document also defines what a function is and provides examples of representing functions using tables, graphs, formulas, and words. It outlines the course, including assessments, books, and good and bad classroom practices.
