Calculus, which was discovered by Newton and Liebniz, nothwithstanding all credit being given to Newton, is one of the most beautiful forms of intellectual material. Calculus requires and emphasizes the development of new methods of thinking, and therefore it is not for the weak minded. Calculus has many practical applications including
molecular and ecological biology, physics, engineering, social and political sciences, and business. After completing a very involved and thought-provoking problem involving
differential equations or
integrals, one might feel a certain "high."
Example:
Dude 1: "Yo man I got some
bomb-ass shit that will fuck you up. Let's go blaze."
Dude 2: "Nah dude I got this problem for
calc homework that involves
differential equations and slope fields, and if I figure it out, my high will be stronger than the high off the strongest chronic"
