Integral calculus studies methods for finding the integral of a function; which may be defined as the limit of a sum of terms, each of which corresponds to a small strip of area under the graph of a function.
The modern version of calculus is known as real analysis; this consists of a rigorous derivation of the results of calculus as well as generalisations such as measure theory and functional analysis.
Calculus has been extended to differential equations, vector calculus, calculus of variations, complex analysis, time scale calculus and differential topology.

Medicine takes mathematics very seriously indeed, and it is difficult to imagine tomorrow's MD's doing any research at all without a basic understanding of dynamic modeling.
Requiring calculus through differential equations and some understanding of real analysis just to prove any theorem at all, it is a challenge to mathematics majors and completely out of the question for anybody else.
The course would have to appeal to biology majors whose primary interest is in medicine, as well as the rest; therefore it could not be primarily ecological in topic.

The evolution of such fractal stochastic phenomena is found to be well described by fractional partial differential equations for the evolution of the probability density and fractional Langevin equations for the evolution of particle trajectories.
These ‘modern’ descriptions of complexity require the application of the fractional calculus, which we interpret in the context of a number of biomedical phenomena.
These fractional operators are necessary for a proper description of the calculus of medicine.

 Dunham, W.: The Calculus Gallery: Masterpieces from Newton to Lebesgue.
Like a great museum, The Calculus Gallery is filled with masterpieces, among which are Bernoulli's early attack upon the harmonic series (1689), Euler's brilliant approximation of pi (1779), Cauchy's classic proof of the fundamental theorem of calculus (1823), Weierstrass's mind-boggling counterexample (1872), and Baire's original "category theorem" (1899).
Collectively, these selections document the evolution of calculus from a powerful but logically chaotic subject into one whose foundations are thorough, rigorous, and unflinching--a story of genius triumphing over some of the toughest, most subtle problems imaginable.
All of the famous functions that have shaped calculus and analysis parade before the reader in the original words of their creators.
