Basic calculus combined, the two is an oxymoron. You’d see college students in engineering courses flopping on their desks and crying out math for all I know. It’s fairly easy though-or atleast simple. Just learn the basics and it goes hand-in-hand. A little practice here and there wouldn’t be so hard as well.

There are four words at heart in Calculus. The essential part of Calculus and the first key term, is limits.

Now you may be wondering what this is or maybe you already encountered it in Ma’am Diaz’ class. If you’re in your last year of middle school or a college engineer major; whatever it is, you’re in here for calculus.

Limits at infinity are used to describe the behavior of functions as the independent variable increases or decreases without bound.

So why stydy them? Can we even use them? Seldom a person would think of calculus’ importance in life. Well I’ll tell you, it’s really just to pass your subject–kidding’s aside, it also has its essence in real life and applications.

They allow us to think of what will happen or what are the possibilities as we approach the “infinite” and infinitely small.

Consider we have a function x and we’d like to know thr area under a curve and above the x-axis meaning an interval from a to b. Depending on the curve, we can draw a rectangle. But that would be a bad approximation. If it were to approach infinity we’d just get a bunch of rectangles drawn adding up a bunch of heights from x to f.

The example given above isn’t that visualize-able so let’s say it this way. If we’d want to study how functions change with variation of a parameter then limits would fall out of description.

Let’s say x(t) is a function that tells where a jet is at a given time (t). Now we want to know how fast the jet is moving at t=10 seconds. We may not know how to find its speed at the exact moment but we can find the average speed within a time interval. We can find the exact speed by finding its limit.

The sample above was from Jane Zakob a BS Applied Mathematics graduate of The University of Colorado. She also answers questions in Quora about the importance of calculus, a must read after this article.

To sum it up, limits allows us to study on numbers from afar. Albeit, we can study the points around it to get a better understanding of the points we want to know.

Travel blog|Longread |December, 2019 |

It was a 15-hour trip from Region IV-A to Bicol. The roads were longer than usual with the lumps and light cracks caused by the recent typhoon (?) //name of typhoon//. The view out wasn’t all that great either reaching at Polangui all to Legazpi City. Some house lost their roof, others had wood debris on their doorsteps. Still it was nice to be back in my birthplace.

Despite the strong wind(?) brought by the typhoon our house still stood strong, well except for that one-side of the wall at the second floor. The whole house was still better than expected, still. We had it repaired the next day.

Due to the recent calamity that struck Bicol, we had no electricity for the whole week so we had to stay at a hotel nearby and eat out.

That was probably the only thing I looked forward to, “eat out”. See, Bicol has a lot of cuisine that makes them unique and creates their own color.

Barbeque: After moving to Calamba, I never got to taste a bbq that could fit palette; or at least not what I’m looking for. Our neighbor back in Legazpi, Aling Minerva roasts the best bbq ever! The dips that she made fits perfect with it as well. Aside from the bbq, her “dugo” or pig’s blood is something that you’d look forward to.

Chocolate pili nut: Pili nut is one of Bicol’s delicacy. To give it a twist, souvenir shops at the terminal sells them coated with pure cocoa. A great snack to much on while studying.

Fruits and Vegetables: As it’s Christmas season, the fruits’ stand in the market sells various fruits and veggies. Some that you won’t see in most city.

Marso ika-12 ng taong 2019, sa iba ay simpleng araw lamang ito nang pag-garo-garo pero sa batch 2019 ng Calamba City Science High School tila ito’y huling sayaw para sa amin.

Ang huling beses na makakapag pagabi pa kami sa eskwelahan na tila nagpalaki sa amin, huling beses na makitang pagpawisan ang mga kapwa estudyante na parang hindi nagpapawis, at ang huling sanadali na makita ang ngiti ng tagumpay na nagsasabing ‘Ah natapos narin kami’.

Walang makakaila na tunay ngang pinahalagahan namin ang mga huling sandali. Ang iba’y hindi sinayang ang oras at kumuha ng mga larawan kasama ang kani-kanilang mga kaibigan. Mula sa ikalawang palapag kitang-kita mo talaga ang kuripas na pag-takbo ng mga mag-aaral para lang makakuha nang kanilang mga larawan. Isang alaalang hindi makakalimutan. Alaalang matatago at mababalikan.

With a stellar performance coming from FunPlus Phoenix this year, they became the neck to neck favorites alongside south Koreas first seed, SK Telecom T1 to win Worlds 2019.

FPX, the LPL Champions (Chinese region of League of Legends) rolled over the competitions at Worlds, en route to the region’s second consecutive win(?) at Worlds. FPX secured the championship with a total record of 13-4 and 9-2 run through the Bracket stage. Moving to offseason and at the early preparation stage of season 2020, the aforementioned group still stands as a clear favorite to repeat next season.

Alongside FPX, SK Telecom T1, also remains a favorite for many. They bagged in a 15-4 during the closing of the season after a drought back in LCK.
