Calculus Countdown
Age 16 to 18 Challenge Level:
Can you hit the target functions using a set of input functions and a little calculus and algebra?
Fractional Calculus II
Age 16 to 18
Here explore some ideas of how the definitions and methods of calculus change if you integrate or differentiate n times when n is not a whole number.
Fractional Calculus III
Age 16 to 18
Fractional calculus is a generalisation of ordinary calculus where you can differentiate n times when n is not a whole number.
Fractional Calculus I
Age 16 to 18
You can differentiate and integrate n times but what if n is not a whole number? This generalisation of calculus was introduced and discussed on askNRICH by some school students.
