Wouldn't say I'm good at Math, but Calculus describes differentiable changes (continuous changes that happen over time), which are everywhere in the physical world. You can model everything with differential equations, from water leaking out of a party-hat-shaped tank to a falling leaf's trajectory. In Biology terms, I assume we can apply blood flow rate and appreciate how dangerous some clog in your veins is, the work required to pump blood across the body -> workload for your heart -> its life expectancy, what-not and what-not.
As for how to study it, I happen to have a weird liking for conceptual insight (only to a minor degree), and it kind of helps at times, other times, not so much. To do well in integration by parts, you simply have to do enough practices; but to find the volume of a donut or an ellipsoid requires more imagination capacity.
