There are lots of applications of calculus; for example: calculating maxima and minima, analyzing the shape of curves, calculating acceleration when you know the velocity, calculating velocity when you know the acceleration; calculating the area of figures; calculating the volume of 3D shapes; etc.

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.
Calculus is a mathematical technique: it is not a unit or tool for measurement.
Analysing the stock marketinvolves a lot of probability theory, which is very heavy on calculus.
Calculus is the mathematics of trajectories. I would recommend a Calculus class as it is very difficult to understand independently.
Companies have profit functions that depend on the quantity of a product they produce. Using calculus, we can figure out how to maximize profit.
