Some people say it's the highest.
Is it true or false ?

What do you mean by "higher than calculus" Math doesn't come in levels, but rather it comes in branches. there are branches of math that have nothing to do with calculus but are every bit as difficult. If your question has more to do with level of difficulty or complexity then there is no "highest" mathematics. If there were then there would be no major advances and people would be able to say that we know everything there is to know ever. And that's not gonna happen.

Calculus is the highest level math you will probably be able to encounter in high school; however, it is the lowest level math at most universities and is the building block for every higher level math course. Some of these courses are:
Differential equations: solving equations using rates of change.
Linear Algebra: Solving systems of equations.
Modern Algebra/Theoretical algebra/number theory: these classes deal with why numbers behave the way they do.
There are also many classes which use calculus, but you might have done them in high school without calculus, like statistics and probability.
I am a math major and to even be a math major you have to have completed Calculus 1 - 3 first.

Calculus 2

It's false. I used to think that the most advanced level of math was calculus, and I was wrong. I found this out from my counselor.
One of the types of math that is higher than calculus is called "Quantum Mechanics." Another type is called "Igean Analysis."
So, technically, there are maths that go way, way beyond calculus, such as the two I just mentioned.
Quite amazing, huh?

Calculus shouldn't be considered a specific level of math, just a facet of a large field. Geometry isn't below Trig, Trig isn't below Calculus, they are all complementary.
One other field of study that often follows Calculus is Chaos Math which attempts to model seemingly unordered reality into a series of nice formulas.

i dont know if there is a math higher than calculus. i guess if you get into theoretical or quantum physics the math is higher or just an extremly advanced form of claculus. beings that calculus was invented to explain physics

There are other "higher" maths. Vector analysis, differential equations, number theory, topology.

There are several fields. In graduate school I studied combinatorial topology and algebraic topology, both of which I thought were more difficult than advanced caculus.

y = a million/x³ - cos2x y = x-³ - cos2x dy/dx = -3x^-4 - (-Sinx * 2) dy/dx = -3x^-4 + 2Sin2x in the 2d area, the x comes concern to 2 components, the Cos x & the 2x, so it is going via a double attitude of being differaterated.
