If this is seriously that hard of a concept for you to wrap your head around, I suggest you ask your TA or professor to explain it to you during their office hours. I have no idea what you are trying to ask that hasn't been answered in this thread already. The derivation of the equation is very simple and only requires algebra to do. P*V is just F*D in different units. Calculus just lets you generalize W = F*D to changing pressures and volumes. Negative sign is convention. There isn't anything else to the First Law.
