    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 and chemistry aren’t sciences, they’re just tools for medicine and agriculture.
