Calculus is the basic subject of mathematics, and it is a branch of mathematics that studies the differential and integral of functions and related concepts and applications in higher mathematics. The content mainly includes limit, differential calculus, integral calculus and its application. Differential calculus, including the calculation of derivatives, is a set of theories about the rate of change.

It makes the function, velocity, acceleration and curve slope can be discussed with a set of universal symbols. Integral calculus, including the calculation of integral, provides a set of general methods for defining and calculating area and volume.

Development of calculus principle

Since the establishment of calculus system for hundreds of years, great achievements have been made in the application of methods. However, there are many imperfections and inaccuracies in the current calculus principle.

1, the current calculus principle cannot be justified in structure;

2. There are many subtle problems;

3. There are many logical errors in the principle of calculus.

Therefore, it is an insurmountable step in the development of mathematics to correct the mistakes of the current calculus principle, establish a new mathematical model and rebuild the new calculus principle that meets the requirements of mathematical development.
