There are many calendars that have been used through history, but the most common one in use today was developed in Europe. It uses the Christian religion to determine its starting point. What designation does this calendar use to identify events a) before the birth of Christ, and b) after the birth of Christ?

Events before the birth of Christ were labeled BC (Before Christ), and those afterward were designated AD (Anno Domini, in English, "In the year of the Lord").
The more politically correct designation, nowadays, is CE (Common Era) or BCE (Before Common Era).

I am not really sure what you mean. It sounds like you are talking about the twelve month calender, but you are asking questions that have to do with history witch is based on something else. Why would our twelve month calender mark any part of history that was not our own. I am sure in Europe, they use calenders and mark historical points that were significant to their history there.
What I am trying to say is that I don't understand the question being asked.

BC = Before Christ
AD = After Christ
Then (BC) + (AD) = (BCAD) - 9(1)(1) = R3 .0122 - rt23.001
Oh heck I don't know!
