Best Answer

Differential calculus (commonly calculus 1) is used in optimization -- basically finding the best or most likely choice for something. For example, the best movie based on past recommendations, or the best price to sell something at), or the most likely meaning for a word.

Series, especially Taylor Series, are used to approximate functions and make computation easier. For example, one can replace e^x with the approximation 1+x+x^2/2, when x is close to 0.

The difference between Leibniz calculus to Newton calculus was that Leibniz developed Newton's calculus into the calculus we all know today.

On the otherhand, the calculus which Newton found was that used in physics, such as speed and velocity which helped with physics greatly. Today, calculus not only used in just mathematics or physics, but used in finance, as well as exploited in engineering.
