The greatest thing on the entire planet!
Calculus is better than sex.

Form of math derived by Isaac Newton consisting mainly of derivatives and integrals. Allows one to get the slope of the tangent line of a curve or the area under the curve, respectively. Extremely useful in almost all areas of science. Newton wrote it in two weeks, and often takes us about a year to learn. From calculus, we know that the derivative of position is velocity, and the velocity is acceleration. A third derivative, the jerk (what you feel when a car suddenly stops), can be found, but is not seen as often. These relationships are crucial to the physical sciences.

1. Math invented by Sir Isaac Newton in the 17th century. Involves calculating "limits", numbers that are normally unable to be calculated except through differentiation. 2. The mathematics of Limits and Derivatives. 3. A freakin' impossible math class. Calculus AB is too hard, BC is impossible.

Something warm, fuzzy, and incredibly useful.
A point mass moves in the xy-plane with a velocity given by 6t2+9t+2. What's its average velocity between t=1 and t=4? Try solving that one without calculus.

N. A field of mathematics which was devised by Isaac Newton to be used as means for social darwinism on basis of intelligence due to its impossibility to understand for persons with IQ's lower than 160 .
Baby who has an IQ of 140 couldn't understand the First Fundamental Theorem of Calculus after studying it solely for 12 hours. Todd Ericson who has an IQ above 200 understood it before he was done reading the written definition.
