Determining the "hardest" calculus problem is subjective and can vary depending on individual strengths and weaknesses. However, some commonly challenging calculus problems involve intricate applications of multiple calculus concepts, such as optimization, related rates, or advanced integration techniques. Problems that require a deep understanding of calculus principles, creativity in problem-solving, and the ability to apply various strategies tend to be considered the most difficult.

There are many applications of calculus, and difficulties of these problems may vary therefore there isn't an actual most difficult question.
First, you need to learn how to do calculus. This can be accomplished through either taking a calculus class or figuring it out on your own. Next, you apply what you have learned to the problem, eventually arriving at the answer.
An understanding of the math behind the problem will help you solve the problem. High-level Computer Science is about modeling natural sciences which is where you will need to understand the basics of calculus.
Calculus is interesting because it is incredible that human intelligence has discovered a way to solve a problem using a formula that can be repeated. Calculus is not necessarily about the numbers, but about the fact that we can apply rules and theories to numbers in a variety of situations.
Calculus in itself is not hard, it is usually remembering the algebra and previous math classes that is hard. New concepts are introduced in Calculus, but isn't it the same with any new subject? For example, many problems in integration, the actual calculus is not the hard part, it is using all of the algebra and other concepts you have used your whole life to simplify the problem so it is easy to solve.
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.
