Managerial Economics & Economic Concepts run at least one input is fixed (all others being variable), and the usual factor of production that is fixed is capital (the firm's buildings, machines, and other fixed assets). Because capital is fixed in the short run, all the costs associated with capital are called fixed costs. In the short run the firm can, in essence, ignore those costs: they will be incurred irrespective of how many units are produced. The costs that change in the short run

areas under and between curves); these two branches are related to each other by the fundamental theorem of calculus. Both branches make use of the fundamental notions of convergence of infinite sequences and infinite series to a well-defined limit. Generally considered to have been founded in the 17th century by Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibniz, today calculus has widespread uses in science, engineering and economics and can solve many problems that algebra alone cannot. Calculus is a part of modern
