Honestly I do not Noclevername, at university it took me several times to get past the first half of the first year of calculus, mostly because I had hard time through high school and most math programs in my area are not geared towards advance math at leaast the time.

Calculus is generally divided into to catagories differential which was invented by Newton or Leibniz and is based off of the deriative which is the slope of the line tangent to a curve. It is very useful when finding how fast something is changing such as speed. The are is intergral calculus and has alot of different inventors and generally a way of finding the area under curve, this is helpful in finding things such as how much work is done (at least in a mathematical way).
