Other than a mental exercise and to show how smart someone is, I never saw much use in calculus. Numerical methods are used to do calculations, not calculus, so what is it really used for?

It can be used to create equations for model systems, which are then calculated on computers and compared to the real result. As with all math though, calculus only approximates reality.
