01Change and approximation
Calculus studies how a quantity changes and how small changes accumulate. Graphical interpretation should accompany the notation.
02Conditions before the rule
Check domain, continuity, or differentiability where required. A correct rule cannot be applied mechanically outside its conditions.
03Interpret the result
A derivative represents local rate of change and a definite integral represents net accumulation. Always reconnect the result to the original problem.
