In a nutshell, calculus is the mathematical study of change. Algebra covers mainly linear applications like velocity = distance divided by time. Calculus is used to find the instantaneous velocity of a ball thrown 6 feet in the air as it is falling, paused in time at 4 feet up (the velocity is getting faster as the ball comes down, so you need calculus equations and techniques to figure this out).

A proof in calculus is when it will make a statement, such as: If y=cos3x, then y'''=18sin3x. Then it will tell you to do a proof. This means you have to solve the equation step by step, coming to the solution, which should be the same as in the statement.
