1. calculus (elementary calculus as school subject)

   Kansakoulun ensimmäisellä luokalla meillä oli neljä oppiainetta: uskonto, laskento, lukeminen ja kirjoitus.

   At the first grade of the elementary school we were taught four subjects: religion, calculus, reading and writing.

• Nowadays the subject is called matematiikka (“mathematics”) already on the first grade.
