Here are some common mistakes made in calculus:
Confusing Limits and Derivatives: Many students mistakenly treat limits and derivatives as the same concept.
- Limit: The value that a function approaches as the input approaches a particular value.
- Derivative: The rate at which one quantity changes with respect to another.
Neglecting the Chain Rule: The chain rule is a fundamental concept in calculus, yet it's often overlooked or misapplied.
Incorrect Application of Integration Techniques: Students often struggle with choosing the right integration technique for a given problem.
