It will explain what calculus is, and include detailed examples to help you understand.

Calculus II is the son of Abacus and her husband Calculus I, two Roman plebeians who serve Emperor Mathematicus. Unfortunately, life as a common plebeian is not all it's cracked up to be. For starters, plebeians aren't allowed to attend school, so Cal has to come up with his own methods of staving off boredom. Luckily, he and his friends stumble across a crime scene, and decide that solving the problem of the mystery murderer is just the thing they need to exercise their brain cells. As their calculations finally start to add up, only one question remains: will they come to the right answer?
