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.

Get the calculator mug.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.

Get the calculator sex mug.The act of intentionally entering random numbers, letters, or symbols into one's calculator to take up space or make the calculator run out of memory. Works best with graphing calculators, as they have a big screen and letters. Words commonly used to rape calculators include "lol", "roflcopter", and "roflmao".
Paul: *Presses seemingly random numbers into a graphing calculator*
Patricia: Is he raping your calculator?
Clare: *reads calculator: "lolololololololololroflmaololomgwtfbbqlololllerskatelolololroflcopterlolol..."*
Clare: Unfortunately... This is the worst case of calculator rape yet.
