-
and the average velocity in that interval is Δx/Δt.
-
Graphically, this guy is Δx
-
and this guy is Δt, and Δx/Δt is a ratio.
-
So in calculus, what you want to do
-
is to get the notion of the velocity right now.
-
We all have an intuitive notion of velocity right now.
-
When you're driving in your car,
-
there's a needle and the needle says 60;
-
that's your velocity at this instant.
-
It's very interesting
-
because velocity seems to require two different times to define it --
-
the initial time and the final time.
