1.4 Classification Of Functions
Analytically represented functions are either Elementary or Non-elementary.
The basic elementary functions are :
1) Power function :y = xm , m ÎR
2) Exponential function :y = ax , a > 0 but a ¹ 1
3) Logarithmic function :y = log ax , a > 0, a ¹ 1 and x > 0
4) Trigonometric functions :y = sin x, y = cos x, y = tan x,
y = csc x, y = sec x and y = cot x
5) Inverse trigonometric functions
y = sin-1 x, y = cos-1x, y = tan-1x,
OR y = cot-1x, y = cosec-1x, y = sec-1x.
y = arc sin x, y = arc cos x, y = arc tan x
y = arc cot x, y = arc csc x and y = arc sec x
It is calculus. Probability distributions can be described by functions and mathematical manipulation of those functions using algebra - and particularly calculus - enable complicated probabilities to be calculated.
There are lots of differences. Here is one fundamental difference: in arithmetic, you do calculations with numbers. In calculus, you do calculations that involve ENTIRE FUNCTIONS.
Companies have profit functions that depend on the quantity of a product they produce. Using calculus, we can figure out how to maximize profit.
The chain rule, in calculus, is a formula. It allows one to compute the derivative of the composition of two or more functions. It was first used by the German mathematician Gottfried Leibniz.
It is the study of how to apply calculus to functions of more then 1 variable. It allows us to do the same things we could in two dementions in n dementions. It is closely related to linear algebra.

Calculus is the fundamentals of analysis. Essentially, it is the study of behavior of functions, real valued and complex valued. Advanced studies also involves vector valued function, matrix functions. Though Calculus can be summarized as the study of behaviors of functions, it's detail is complex and non-trivial.

Know you algebra and trig. When I took calculus that is what my teachers told me. You will use both extensively in manipulations and identities and functions. Then you can learn the calculus.
Typically, the pre-requisite for calculus is algebra and trigonometry. These are usually universally required because you need these skills to actually do the mathematics of the calculus. There are a lot of identities in trigonometry that you will wish you could remember when you are working with calculus of trigonometric functions.

Yes; in a larger view of calculus (small stones used for counting) it deals with the abstract aspects of various mathematics, usually functions and limits, Calculus is the study of change.
