    Basically, calculus is the single most useful branch of mathematics developed. It has been proposed by some historians of science that the development of calculus will prove to have as great an important to humanity as the development of writing.

    Calculus is used in physics, engineering, chemistry, biology, economics, psychology and sociology. In other words, almost all areas of human scientific endeavour use calculus as an important tool.

    • The question was what is it useful for NOT what subjects use it. Nothing here answers the question.

    • This is a good answer. To be more specific would entail a very, very long answer.

    • "Used for" and "Is usefull for" are interchangeable. I like this answer. Good job.
