The first ting that comes to mind in stones. These were called calculi and were used for counting.
If you mean the math term: derivatives, integrals, and the basis on which everything is based, which is limits.
There are several meanings to the word 'calculus.' The plural for calculus is 'calculi.' There is no plural for the calculus we use in mathematics.

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.
It is a branch of maths that involves Calculating rates of change and irregular.curved volumes. 'The word 'Calculus' is Latin and means 'stones'. Where the ancients would have used stones/pebbles to make calculations.
