| - | --> Example1# | + | <blockquote>We usually take shapes and formulas at face value, as a single pattern. Calculus gives us two superpowers to dig deeper: |
| - | + | X-Ray Vision: You see the hidden pieces inside a pattern. You don't just see the tree, you know it's made of rings, with another growing as we speak. | |
| - | <-- | + | |
| - | --> Example2:# | + | Time-Lapse Vision: You see the future path of an object laid out before you (cool, right?). "Hey, there's the moon. In the next few days it'll be rising and changing to a nice red color. I'll wait 6 days and take the perfect photo then." |
| - | + | So why is Calculus useful? Well, just imagine having X-Ray or Time-Lapse vision to use at will. That object over there, how was it put together? What will happen to it? | |
