Hi,
Q: How much of 700g brain does Calculus need?
A: Prefrontal cortex, parietal lobe, and others take
up 30–50% of total brain volume during heavy
cognitive tasks. If we allocate these to calculus
specifically during focused problem-solving, that’s
roughly 200–350g of active brain matter.
Q: Its basically only one rule , the chain rule for differentiation
A: Yes, mastering the chain rule is like holding the master key
Q: How much brain is needed to hold this master key?
A: Understanding the chain rule relies on recognizing patterns,
far less than tasks like language or multi-tasking. During f
ocused thinking, these areas together might use ~5–10% of
the brain’s metabolic resources. If we assign 10% of your brain
(~70g of your 700g brain) to calculus, the chain rule might
need about 5–10g to grasp and apply consistently.
Bye

Interesting, he just made a video about this. He must have read this

Speaking of calculus, there is an interesting new course on yt about
calculus from a historical perspective.
