Document Summary
Life sci 3j03 lecture 9 elementary calculus. A property is something that characterizes some things but not others. A variable is a set of mutually exclusive properties. Properties on a variable are often called values. A function is the description of one variable in terms of one or more other variables. The variable that we manipulate is called the independent variable : x axis. The variable that we measure is called the dependent variable : y axis. Equations describe the relationship between variables, allow us to determine many important facts about human motion. Sir isaac newton developed a method to calculate instantaneous slopes called. Can calculate the velocity at any instant (ex. when t = 2 seconds) without calculating an average velocity or dividing by 0. In order to transform the displacement function into the velocity function we must use the following transfer function for differential calculus.
