Abstract

As a branch of mathematics, calculus includes differential calculus and integral calculus. Calculus is the study of change, and has widespread applications in science, economics and engineering, and can solve many real world problems. It is well known that a system’s dynamical properties can be described by an ordinary differential equation (ODE) which contains functions of an independent variable.
