What is the definition of multiplication in physics as it is applied in Calculus and definition of units?

Dimensionally speaking multiplication corresponds to integration, and differentiation corresponds to division
How does multiplication correspond to integration? i mean how come foot-pound & pound-foot is defined from the definition & meaning of multiplication then as what is the difference between foot-pound & pound-foot too from the definition of units?
Aside from the fact that if differentiation corresponds to division, its inverse must correspond to the inverse of division, consider it this way.
An integral from a to b is the area under the curve - which is the limit as you take many rectangles with a width (b-a)/n, and n is the number of rectangles, and a height f(x).
The area of a given rectangle is f(x_o)*(b-a)/n, which is multiplication. The integral is the sum of many of these rectangles, and therefore also has units the same as the quantities multiplied.

How does calculus apply to you?
All electronic devices would not exist without calculus. Engineers would be able to do nothing without calculus, which means everything that we have that we owe to engineers, we owe to calculus as well. Physics would not exist beyond the high school level (which is trigonometry based) without calculus. If you asked this question to help you with a school assignment, here's a good common saying you can use: Calculus is the language of physics. Applied chemistry requires calculus, which means that everything that we owe to applied chemistry, we also owe to calculus.
Why learn trigonometry?
Trigonometry is engineering math, but If you are going to study something in physics, or science, (basically this is "applied science"), you will need lots of calculus. calculus appears a lot in "Stargate".
Will physics be hard for you if you are good at calculus?
Calculus will help but there is more to physics than just that.
What is the importance of studying calculus?
Calculus was invented to solve physics problems, so the importance of studying calculus is to solve physics problems.
What is general physics non calculus?
In many universities and colleges this is a course covering various topics in physics that avoids using the calculus.

What is the definition of engineering physics?
The definition of engineering physics is an introductory college course in physics for potential engineering majors. This differs from regular physics in the inclusion of calculus in the curriculum instead of just algebra.
What is the definition of work done?
Physics definition of work: (force applied ) multiplied by (distance through which the force acts).
Use of calculus?
Calculus was created to prove physics which defines the laws of nature.
Is calculus harder than physics?
Some people find calculus easier, others find physics easier. There is no general answer.
What is thr purpose of calculus?
The purpose of calculus is to solve physics problems.
What is general physics non calculus?
In many universities and colleges this is a course covering various topics in physics that avoids using the calculus.
What is the difference between Physics B and Physics C?
Briefly, Physics B is non-calculus based and Physics C is calculus-based. For more information, please visit collegeboard.com for more information.
