Definitions

1. Calculation; computation
2. Calculation; computation.
   countable, dated
3. Any formal system in which symbolic expressions are manipulated according to fixed rules
4. The branch of mathematics that finds the maximum or minimum values of functions by means of differentiation and integration. Calculus can be used to calculate such things as rates of change, the area bounded by curves, and the volume bounded by surfaces. See more at differentiation, integration.
5. Any formal system in which symbolic expressions are manipulated according to fixed rules.
   countable
6. Differential calculus and integral calculus considered as a single subject
7. a branch of mathematics that treats the measurement of changing quantities, determining rates of change (differential calculus) and quantities under changing conditions (integral calculus).
