Below is a description of Calculus 

"Calculus involves sophisticated ideas—about how the world changes, how we measure that change, and how we use those measurements to guide our existence. Calculus is about the infinite and the infinitesimal, and how they come together in mind-boggling ways. Yes, it has formulas, but mainly it's mathematical poetry, written in readable prose. Here's what calculus is not: It's not merely a collection of technical skills for manipulating symbols. It's not merely an intricate set of tools for doing devilishly difficult calculations (although it does that too). Calculus is enlightening and elegant, and properly learned, calculus is soul enriching, like Steinbeck or Shakespeare or Plato."
