Differential calculus aids in understanding instantaneous changes, while integral calculus is used for summation and accumulation in circuit analysis. They describe the relationships between variables and their rates of change, providing insights into circuit dynamics in the RC, RL, and RLC circuits.

We shall go beyond the theoretical and investigate practical aspects as found in electrical laboratories. We shall examine batteries from a functional perspective, and perform computations regarding efficiency and cost of energy. This material presents the foundation upon which we will build circuit analysis techniques in subsequent chapters.
