Calculus and Line Designs

Since geometry is a part of calculus because the derivative is interpreted as the slope of the line tangent to a curve at a point. We can make the conclusion that line designs and calculus are related. Mary Boole was the originator of line designs because she thought that the line designs would help children learn about the angles and spaces of geometry. Although line designs teach angles and spaces they also teach graphs and the fundamental knowledge of calculus. With tangent lines, every line in the line design is a tangent line but to the eye it does not seem like that because the designs just look like curves instead of straight lines. Even though the symmetry in line designs is not directly related to calculus, the line designs are symmetric, in every design some way or another.
