A many variable q-calculus is introduced using the formalism of braided covector algebras. Its properties are discussed in detail and related to fractional supersymmetry when certain of its deformation parameters are roots of unity. The special cases of two-dimensional supersymmetry and fractional supersymmetry are developed in detail.
