Introduction The purpose of this mathematical paper is to discuss the applications of ordinary mathematical problems concerning rates of change that result in becoming variables in a problem. This paper will also analyze the practical uses of calculating rates, as well as focus on rates in terms of differential calculus. Background Information To be quite honest, the field of mathematics had never been my forte; I have never seemed to be able to grasp concepts that come so easily to others. However, the area of science fascinates me. Last year, in Biology class, we were appointed to complete an assignment in which we recorded the rates of enzyme reactions when different variables acted upon the substrate. I found the entire experiment intriguing, and didn't realize, until recently, that it was in any way related to Calculus. A rate of change of an object is the speed at which a variable can change over a...
