Another huge thing in Calculus is
finding relative extrema.
Check out this graph:
The tops of the mountains are
relative maximums because they are the
highest points in their
little neighborhoods (relative to the
points right around them):
Suppose you're in a roomful of
people (like your classroom.) Find the tallest person there.
(It's usually a guy.) He is the relative max of that room.
Specifically, he's the tallest, relative to the
people around him.
But, what if you took that guy to an NBA convention? There'd
be lots of guys who beat him.
