While economic data is often discrete (you can find somewhat exact values for labor time, monetary indicators etc.) I wouldn't say that is what makes the calculus 'easier' - rather, it's that while in a calculus course you'd spend a lot of time working through proofs and problems of mathematical analysis, in economics it's often just a simple application of a small aspect of calculus (i.e. differentiation as 'rate-of-change' and integration as 'accumulation').
If anything, you might have a tough time working through Shaikh's Capitalism not because it involves the occasional calculus, but simply because it's a thousand-page treaty of modern Marxian economic analysis.
Try to veer away from that 'I'll get boned' mentality.
Work through whatever book the class suggests (likely Stewart or similar, see the infographics posted above for some suggestions).
If you're having trouble understanding a proof or an exercise see if YT or Khan Academy has a video for it.
This is the most important part: take your own notes on white paper and pencil when attending class or reading a book, and then transcribe them onto a notebook - this forces you to go through your exercises, proofs, etc. a second time, and consequently 1) you'll understand better and 2) you'll hopefully end up with tidy, readable notes to study from.
I finally found a readlist for this, pic related. Pretty sure there was another though (titled 'Analytical Marxism Reading List' or something)

Are there any other cyber-MLs besides Cockshott?
Charles Smith
Most of the people with whom he co-authored Classical Econophysics all also share some kind of interest on the topic.
Allin Cottrell is an economist and has co-authored a ton of stuff with Cockshott, mainly TANS and Computers and Economic Democracy.

Gregory J. Michaelson is a computer scientist and seems to have little involvement in the whole cybersocialism thing other than co-authoring some papers with Cockshott.

Ian Peter Wright defines himself as a multidisciplinary 'space scientist' but he also has worked on post-capitalist theory, having a blog dedicated to that, similar to Cockshott's:

Victor M. Yakovenko is the only one who doesn't seem to have any work related to cybersocialism - he just co-authored the book since he himself researches econophysics as well.

(unrelated: I found an old Altavista page of his where he details his own introductory Marxist reading list, among other things reality.gn.apc.org

Zuse was for that, but I don't think he developed anything. (There's a short book Arno Peters wrote about talking with Zuse about the usage of computers in socialist planning that really doesn't tell you anything aside from DUUUDE, COMPUTERS could be used for doing price-demand adjustments and also decisions where to build factories and so on. There is nothing about how to actually compute that stuff.) Mikhail Botvinnik and Oskar Lange shilled for computer planning in the 60s, though what I've read by them so far wasn't particularly informative either.

Is it possible to believe that mathematics exists 'above' and 'outside' of human beings in the sense that we discover rather than invent it, while otherwise being a materialist?
Elijah Powell
Analytical Marxism is something different from that, I believe. A late 20th century attempt to put Marxism in this contemporary axiomatic framework. Often very anti-Hegelian.
I don't think so. Why would you want this?

Do centrimeters exist without us measuring them?
Its a meaningless philosophical question. They work, thats all that matters.

My calc book is Briggs, Cochran and Gillett. I have Stewart second edition sitting on my desk. I feel that my college is the largest porky in my county and just wants my money.
