LIAR. we do it in maths so ner ner ner ner ner.
Up until calculus, you can essentially deal with functions of a constant slope (a straight line). I.e.: y = 1/3x + 9. We know the slope on that function is 1/3. However what is the slope of y = e5x+sin(9x)? It's y' = 5e5x+9cos(x)
You should also know trigonometry and can use some trig functions to deviate from constant slopes, but you really don't know how to find the slopes. What is the slope of y = cos(9x)? It's y' = -9sin(9x)
Calculus teaches you two fundamental operations (and a whole lot of application with these two operations):
1) How to find the slope of a curve (the derivative)
This let's you find the maximum and minimum's of a function, optimize problems (i.e., figure out how to use the least amount of materials given some parameters), and has and endless amounts of utility.
and
2) How to find the area under a curve. (the integral)
This let's you find the totals for a number of problems (example, find the total accumulated amount of money, given a function that relates time and money), let's you calculate the real areas, volumes, etc. of realistic surfaces (not everything is shaped like a box or triangle), and also has endless amounts of utility.
If you want to go into any science, engineering, research field, or just any technical field, you are going to want to have calculus. It is a fundamental subject, that teaches you operations (must like addition and subtraction), finding thedeterminateand integrals are too operations.
It is certainly used in calculus, just as calculus can be used in trigonometry.
yes it is
I don't think such a term is used in calculus. Check the spelling. Perhaps you mean point of inflection?
Issac Newton
One uses calculus including differential equations and vector calculus in the undergrad courses which is as far as got.

Mainly Leibniz's and Newton's version is used in Calculus Textbooks.
The difference between Leibniz calculus to Newton calculus was that Leibniz developed Newton's calculus into the calculus we all know today. For instance, diffentiation and intergration, limits, continuity, etc. This type of calculus was the pure mathematics. On the otherhand, the calculus which Newton found was that used in physics, such as speed and velocity which helped with physics greatly. Today, calculus not only used in just mathematics or physics, but used in finance, as well as exploited in engineering.
In the 'real world', the purpose of a course of study in pre-calculus is to prepare the student for a course of study in Calculus.

For Literally Everything.
yes it is
Calculus was created to prove physics which defines the laws of nature.
Calculus is used a lot in business decisions. I am a Business Administration major. An examples is the break-even point in calculus. You need to know how to do this in business so you know how much of a product that you need to sell in order to cover your cost. Hope this helps some. +++ That is just one field, but Calculus is used in a huge range of scientific and engineering problems.

Calculus doesn't have buttons.
