Calculus anyone?

I just downloaded a list of 50 local urologists.

Several gave as "Secondary Interest: Calculus."

Would this relate to the 3rd definition for calculus -
a concentration usually of mineral salts, especially
in hollow organs or ducts?

Yes, it does. Calculus, and calculate, meaning the mathematics, comes
from the latin word for stones, used in counting. Think of an abacus
with sliding clay markers.
Calculus also refers to stones in the body. One of the reliable
services that a urologist provides is treatment of stones in the
kidneys, ureters and urethra, and perhaps elsewhere. Along with
vasectomies, erectile dysfunction, and prostate health this forms the
basis of urology practice.

Could be..
All I can tell you is that calculus is the reason I was a business
major in 1965 after starting as an engineering major in 1964.

These days, even business majors have to take calculus.

I'm must be the exception to the rule.  I was an awful student my entire
career but I got a 98 in advanced calculus in engineering school.... right
before I flunked out! I had a great teacher and a skill for something that
would do me no good, and be totally forgotten shortly thereafter forever. Of
course this was in the dark ages when we used a slide rule.
