Answer 10

While you drive a car, you see two things on your dashboard, and those two things are the best example of calculus in action
1. The speedometer, it calculates \(\frac{dx}{dt}\) of your car
2. And the other telling you \(\int\limits x dx\)

Answer 11

that's the work of the car manufacturer to calculate it right and put it on the dashboard, i'm not going to make cars -_- :P but oh well it's good to know

Answer 12

But you need to know calculus to really know what those two things are telling you.

Answer 13

I use calculus in real life to get good grades. ;)

Also, the academic fields of SCIENCE and OUTERSPACE are heavily dependent on calculus.
