The ancient Greeks certainly used calculus. Archimedes used regular polygons inscribed and circumscribing a circle to estimate the value of pi. The perimeter of the circle (the circumference) lay between the perimeters of the two sets of polygons. The limit, as the number of sides of the polygon were increased, gave pi. Unfortunately, calculations of trigonometric ratios were not sufficiently refined for Archimedes to get very accurate results.

What are some mathematician surnames that begin with the letter J?
Notable are Gaston Julia, for whom the Julia fractal is named (the Mandelbrot fractal is the most famous kind of the Julia fractal), and Jyeshtadeva, an Indian mathematician who lived in the 1500s and was influential in developing an Indian version of calculus many years before the West discovered calculus.

20 applications of vector analysis to solve real life problems?
Pretty much everything can be applied to calculus, and calculus to everything. If you have ever read the novel "Halo" you can see (in the first book) that Master Chief, had forgotten how much gravity was on the space-craft, and used calculus to determine the acceleration of gravity by timing the drop of a bolt and figuring out everything else. Calculus is especially important for any kind of profession that involves projectiles.
What is the complete mathematical summary of calculus?
Calculus is a very wide ranging subject, which is not really possible to generalise (particularly since you do not indicate what kind of level of calculus you wish summarised- e.g beginners, intermediate, post-grad etc...)
