Optimization Problems
Differential calculus helps in solving optimization problems, where we aim to find the maximum or minimum value of a function. It is used in engineering to optimize the design of structures, such as bridges or buildings, by minimizing costs or maximizing strength. In economics, it can be applied to maximize profits or minimize costs for businesses.	Image Source

Calculating Rates of Change
Differential calculus allows us to calculate rates of change, such as velocity or acceleration, in physics and engineering. It is used in astronomy to determine the rate at which a star is moving away from us based on its redshift. In biology, it helps model population growth rates or the rate of change in enzyme activity.	Image Source

Curve Sketching
Differential calculus helps us analyze and sketch the behavior of functions. It helps determine the critical points, inflection points, and concavity of a function. Curve sketching is essential in physics, engineering, and economics to understand the behavior of variables.	Image Source

Related Rates
Differential calculus is applied to solve problems involving related rates, where two or more variables are changing with respect to time or another variable. It is used in physics to analyze the motion of objects in relation to each other. Related rates problems also find applications in navigation, engineering, and medical imaging.	Image Source

Economic Analysis
Differential calculus is employed in economic analysis to study supply and demand functions. It helps determine the elasticity of demand or supply, which measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded or supplied to changes in price. Economic analysis using calculus is vital for policy-making and understanding market behavior.	Image Source

Fluid Dynamics
Differential calculus is used extensively in fluid dynamics to model and analyze the behavior of fluids. It helps determine fluid flow rates, pressure gradients, and fluid forces. Applications of fluid dynamics range from designing efficient pipelines to understanding weather patterns.	Image Source
