@Latichever
It’s highly unlikely that someone who took the IMO and Math 55 didn’t know how to apply basic integration (like how to apply integration by parts). It probably meant that the student wasn’t aware of the more theoretical side of calculus, like epsilon-delta arguments, proof of Cauchy’s Mean Value Theorem and Taylor’s Theorem, etc.
