Wasn't the reason Newton invented calculus so that he could calculate mechanics (i.e. Newton's Laws)?

  if you mean calculus as taught today --no-- newton did not invent that calculus -furthermore- in newtons book known as -principia- newton does not use -calculus- in any shape or form to -calculate- orbits - newton uses only proportions -- but feel free to downvote me for daring to -question- such a cherished -myth- instead of reading -principia- for yourself
