Fundamental Theorem of Calculus

Single-variable calculus from first principles

This is the theorem that ties the entire course together. Derivatives and integrals, slopes and areas, look like two separate worlds. The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus (FTC) shows they are exact inverses of each other. Differentiating undoes integrating, and vice versa.
