You can fail calculus like any other school subject...you can not study for exams, not do the homework, not understand the course, disturb the class...the possibilities are endless.
No. Chances are it will be the other way around: if you are bad at math, you stand a good chance of failing calculus or linear algebra. You will perform best at calculus and algebra if you have a strong math background.
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.
It is certainly used in calculus, just as calculus can be used in trigonometry.
No. Calculus if a field of mathematics.
The current fail rate for students in Calculus 3 is approximately 15.
No not necessarily so.
You'll certainly not fail BECAUSE you are good at algebra - you need to know algebra well, to understand calculus. So, it is not guaranteed that you will succeed, but if you are good at algebra, your chances are certainly a lot better than if your are not good at algebra.
No, not true. However, you will find it very hard to excel in physics if you are a poor in algebra, calculus, vector calculus and differential equations.
No. Chances are it will be the other way around: if you are bad at math, you stand a good chance of failing calculus or linear algebra. You will perform best at calculus and algebra if you have a strong math background.
No; it is false.
No. The opposite is true. __________________ No; in fact, being good with math and calculus will make it much easier to understand physics and engineering. Chemistry doesn't require much in the way of advanced math.
I don't know the details about this particular student, but I would hazard a guess that he didn't know quite a few other things about calculus, either. In any case, if you don't know the fundamental theorem - at least, if you don't know how to apply it in practice - you'll have serious problems with many different problems - specifically when you need to do definite integrals.
Calculus; by a long shot.
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.
