It was first discovered simultaneously by Isaac newton and another mathematician named Gottfried Leibniz. (see related link). However, the notation that we use today is for the most part that of Leibniz. As far as development, it is still an actively researched field of mathematics with thousands of contributors.
Also, integral calculus is often attributed to Archimedes of Syracuse (c. 250 BC), having been largely ignored after him.

Calculus was invented independently by Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibnitz. Newton did it first and showed the actual usefulness of the discipline by deriving the Law of gravity from astronomical data. Leibnitz however developed a much superior notation and terminology, thus it is actually Leibnitz's calculus that we use today.
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.

Pre-calculus refers to concepts that need to be learned before, or as a prerequisite to studying calculus, so no. First one studies pre-calculus then elementary calculus.

Calculus is calculus. There isn't really another word for it.
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.
My Calculus class is in third period. Calculus is a noun
Calculus.
Ivan Niven has written: 'Calculus' -- subject(s): Calculus 'Calculus' -- subject(s): Calculus
Im still taking Integral Calculus now, but for me, if you dont know Differential Calculus you will not know Integral Calculus, because Integral Calculus need Differential. So, as an answer to that question, ITS FAIR
