What is the definition of multiplication in physics as it is applied in Calculus and definition of units?

Dimensionally speaking multiplication corresponds to integration, and differentiation corresponds to division
How does multiplication correspond to integration? i mean how come foot-pound & pound-foot is defined from the definition & meaning of multiplication then as what is the difference between foot-pound & pound-foot too from the definition of units?
Aside from the fact that if differentiation corresponds to division, its inverse must correspond to the inverse of division, consider it this way.
An integral from a to b is the area under the curve - which is the limit as you take many rectangles with a width (b-a)/n, and n is the number of rectangles, and a height f(x).
The area of a given rectangle is f(x_o)*(b-a)/n, which is multiplication. The integral is the sum of many of these rectangles, and therefore also has units the same as the quantities multiplied.

How does calculus apply to you?
All electronic devices would not exist without calculus. Engineers would be able to do nothing without calculus, which means everything that we have that we owe to engineers, we owe to calculus as well. Physics would not exist beyond the high school level (which is trigonometry based) without calculus. If you asked this question to help you with a school assignment, here's a good common saying you can use: Calculus is the language of physics. Applied chemistry requires calculus, which means that everything that we owe to applied chemistry, we also owe to calculus.
Why learn trigonometry?
Trigonometry is engineering math, but If you are going to study something in physics, or science, (basically this is "applied science"), you will need lots of calculus. calculus appears a lot in "Stargate".
Will physics be hard for you if you are good at calculus?
Calculus will help but there is more to physics than just that.
What is the importance of studying calculus?
Calculus was invented to solve physics problems, so the importance of studying calculus is to solve physics problems.
What is general physics non calculus?
In many universities and colleges this is a course covering various topics in physics that avoids using the calculus.

Use of calculus?
Calculus was created to prove physics which defines the laws of nature.
Is calculus harder than physics?
Some people find calculus easier, others find physics easier. There is no general answer.
What is thr purpose of calculus?
The purpose of calculus is to solve physics problems.

What has the author Regina L Neiman written?
Regina L. Neiman has written: 'Study guide with additional calculus problems for Hecht's physics, calculus' -- subject(s): Calculus, Handbooks, manuals, Handbooks, manuals, etc, Mathematical physics, Physics
What is the difference between Newton and Leibniz calculus?
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.
What is a good paying job involving math?
Being a contractor or a builder. It makes a lot of money and involves math, and you also get some exercise. This job involves math. Other jobs are: Pharmacy ( elementary calculus) Architecture (nothing beyond trig is required ) Accounting ( business calculus, applied linear algebra and beginning computer programming) Physics ( vector calculus and differential equations) Medicine ( not so much, enough calculus for physics and statistics) Engineering (calculus, differential equations, vector calculus) Physical chemistry Aviation (spherical trig )
Is calculus used in quantum physics?
yes it is
