Is calculus easier than algebra?
Yes.
Is calculus harder than physics?
Some people find calculus easier, others find physics easier. There is no general answer.
Is multivariable calculus hard?
That is not an easy question to answer. Many people find math hard in general and certainly some people find calculus hard to understand.Multivariable calculus is not really harder than single variable calculus. It is lots of fun since you learn about double and triple integrals, partial derivatives and lots more.I strongly suggest it for anyone who is thinking about taking it.
What is regular calculus?
I think by "regular calculus" it is meant simple derivatives and integrations. Regular calculus would be first year calculus probably not including multi-variable calculus or calculus of variations or vector calculus. Wikipedia gives a good explanation of calculus. If you want to sound smart, call it "The Calculus". It is the study of the rate of change (how things change, in relation to other things, often time) In most Universities, regular calculus are the standard analysis of Calculus, concentrating more on the application of it rather than the concept. in comparison is either called "advanced calculus" or in my U, "Honours Calculus" which takes analysis to a whole new level. Both first year course, but the advanced one concentrates on the understanding of concepts, theorems rather than applications alone. It comes in the form of "mathematical proof". Regular Calculus does proofs too, but not as often. --------------------------------------------- Regular calculus is most probably calculus taught in high school or university level, which is simple, mostly single-variable calculus. But then, there are also different calculi called non-Newtonian calculi. These are the non-standard, non-regular calculi, in which different operators are defined. For example, "regular calculus" might mean an additive calculus (where the integral is defined by adding up extremely small pieces), while an integral in multiplicative calculus might involve multiplying infinitely many pieces close to 1.
Do you need to take calculus before statistics?
Calculus is much harder than statistics, and don't really have anything in common other than algebraic process. Calculus is the study of rates, while statistics is probability.
