People often divide Calculus into integral and differential calculus. In introductory calculus classes, differential calculus usually involves learning about derivatives, rates of change, max and min and optimization problems and many other topics that use differentiation. Integral calculus deals with antiderivatives or integrals. There are definite and indefinite integrals. These are used in calculating areas under or between curves. They are also used for volumes and length of curves and many other things that involve sums or integrals. There are thousands and thousand of applications of both integral and differential calculus.
Madame Du Châtelet wrote Institutions of Physics.
Calculus is mainly about limits, which in turn are used to calculate the slope of a line (known as the "derivative"; lots of applications for that), and to calculate the area under a curve (the "integral" - also lots of applications for that). For more details, read the Wikipedia article on "Calculus", or read an introductory book on calculus. As prerequisites, you should be well-acquainted with high-school algebra.
Calculus; by a long shot.
Just about all of calculus is based on differential and integral calculus, including Calculus 1! However, Calculus 1 is more likely to cover differential calculus, with integral calculus soon after. So there really isn't a right answer for this question.
Calculus on Manifolds - book - was created in 1965.
When you are asked to find the limit in calculus, you are basically asked to determine what f(x) is "approaching to" when x is at a number. I think a few examples can clearly explain this better. Visit quickanswerz.com and request some examples there.
It really depends on what the complete sentence.
This is clearly a homework question and Wiki will not help you cheat. Time to open your book or notes and get to work.

Newton was primarily a physicist. He invented calculus in order to understand and explain the laws of physics. He and Leibniz in Germany independently invented the calculus.
I have a quick introduction to calculus book that is about 60 pages long. I have another calculus book that is nearly 600 pages long. Clearly the length of a math book may vary depending upon the depth of coverage and the subjects included.
The simple answer is any phenomena that is changing in a non-linear manner.
In my opinion, the best one out there is "The Humongous Book of Calculus Problems", by W. Michael Kelley. It contains one thousand questions from warm-up algebra to second year calculus. With each question he walks you through solving it, explaining why it works and providing a battery of explanations and tips. I learned a ~lot~ from that book, enjoyed it thoroughly, and recommend it to anyone who wants to learn calculus or take a refresher.
it's math (calculus)
This is clearly a science book question or from a worksheet. Open your science book and read the chapter. Look at the headings and you will see the answer within the first paragraph. So, it is time to get to work.
