Hello /sci/
In my native language, there is oddly no difference between "calculus" and "mathematical analysis"
That is my question (yes its dumb)
What is analysis? How would you compare it to calculus? Is there significant overlap?

Calculus is the high school version of analysis, i.e. some quick handwavy explanation of what a derivative and an integral are and then doing lots of exercises using algebraic rules of differentiation and integration. Analysis is about rigorously proving all this shit and recognizing general underlying principles.

Then why is it that math majors even take calculus? Shouldnt they learn about everything in calculous through analysis?
There is no difference really. Calculus is just practical application of analysis.

If I remember WIkipedia well enough without going to look it up again: Calculus is the study of change, and Analysis is the study of functions & limits.

It gives us the freedom to take classes such as ODE, PDE, or classes outside of our major that utilize basic calculus early on
