I do not believe there is any relationship between the two. The
calculator is just what it says on the tin: a calculator. Calc, on the
other hand, is much more: it is a computer algebra system which means it
can work symbolically with variables etc. Calc, however, can be used as
just a "calculator" so I would recommend learning Calc as it gives you
everything. However, calculator may be easier to get up to speed with.
Depends on what you want to achieve longer term.
