What is the relationship between calculus and physics?
Why are they both important to each other?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

A calculus course could be completely abstract, without reference to the real world. That is to say, calculus does not depend on physics. Calculus is completely abstract. But it is quite unlikely that physics would have gotten far without calculus. Just about every branch of physics can be dealt with within the framework of calculus dynamics, kinematics, hydraulics you name it. Some topics in physics would even be impossible without calculus, such as variable acceleration. Even in quantum mechanics, where everything is discrete, calculus plays an important role.
Why does calculus find so much application in physics? Calculus basically deals with infinitesimal changes that are not zero, but smaller than any imaginable real number. In physics the many problems operates with infinitesimal changes. In this way they are related to each other.
