美 [ˈkæl.kjə.ləs]
将“calculus”记忆为“calc-”(类似“calcium”钙)加上“ulus”,想象一个“微小的算盘”或“小石算”,表示这个学科涉及对复杂或微小事物的精细计算和推理,即微积分。

calculus 微积分来自词根calc, 小石子。指古时用小石子计数,现指数学术语微积分。
- calculus (n.)
- 1660s, from Latin calculus "reckoning, account," originally "pebble used as a reckoning counter," diminutive of calx (genitive calcis) "limestone" (see chalk (n.)). Modern mathematical sense is a shortening of differential calculus. Also used from 1732 to mean kidney stones, etc., then generally for "concretion occurring accidentally in the animal body," such as dental plaque. Related: Calculous (adj.).
