  Calculus is a tool used in science, absolutely. But calculus itself is not science, in the same way that a chisel is not woodworking.

    Ah, ok. Then math isn’t science, it’s just a tool for physics, computer science, and such. Also physics isn’t science, it’s just a tool for engineering and biology. Biology isn’t science, it’s just a tool for medicine and agriculture.

  Well it’s a tool, and a science in itself too, I guess, if you go into advanced fronter mathematics
