This is realy quite simple. To respond to a post in a thread, there is a button which is label "Quote" (blue button) in lower right of each post. You push that and you are post in
response to that post. You can also type the pair "
" where your
quote is between the header "["quote"]" and trailer "[/"quote"]". This is XML based.

I will have to expand on the Grad a bit later. I probably missed a few fields. There are a lot more.
At the university level - freshman physics uses Calculus as a prerequisite for Physics Majors.
I should know I were one (are in the past). My BS degree was in Physics (though I
originally studied Astrophysics more than half of it). This make me with all three heavily
studied (Math, Physics, Astrophysics). I also minored in Computer Science and ended
up in a career in Aerospace/SW Engineering.
So what part of Physics uses Calculus ??? ALL of IT !!!
Mechanics heavily uses Differentiation (Velocity, Acceleration), Integration (Force, Power), Differential Equations.
Electicity & Magnetism -- Maxwell's Equations (use Vector Calculus, Div, Grad, Curl)
Quantum Mechanics (uses Complex Analysis, Linear Algebra, some Group Theory)
General Relativity (use Tensor Analysis, Differential Geometry, Topology)
Statistical Mechanics (uses Statistics)
Thermodynamics (uses Fourier Analysis)
Optics (uses Calculus, Sequences/Series, DiffEq)
Even now I forgetting some... Good Luck!
