Abstract: We present the fusion calculus as a significant step towards a canonical calculus of concurrency. It simplifies and extends the -calculus. The fusion calculus contains the polyadic -calculus as a proper subcalculus and thus inherits all its expressive power. The gain is that fusion contains actions akin to updating a shared state, and a scoping construct for bounding their effects. Therefore it is easier to represent computational models such as imperative and concurrent constraints... (Update)

Research
My principal research interests lie in the theory of computation with special emphasis on symbolic computation. In particular, my current research involves lambda calculus and combinatory algebra. This area underwent extensive development in the first half of this century, and then lay dormant until Dana Scott's fundamental work in the 1970's. Part of what has emerged from Scott's work is that lambda calculus forms the foundation of functional programming at both the semantic and syntactic levels. As a result, the area has been revived by an influx of theoretical problems directly related to design and implementation issues.

Index
There are two components to calculus. One is the measure the rate of change at any given point on a curve. This rate of change is called the derivative. The simplest example of a rate of change of a function is the slope of a line. We take this one step further to get the rate of change at a point on a line. The other part of calculus is used to measure the exact area under a curve. This is called the integral. If you wanted to find the area of a semicircle, you could use integration to get the answer.
The two parts; the derivative and the integral are inverse functions of each other. That is, they cancel each other out.
Just as (x =x,
the derivative of (integral (x)) = x and
derivative of (integral (f (x)) = f(x). The derivative is a composite function. This means it is a function acting on another funcion. In fact, the function, is the input instead of just x. The derivative, then takes a type of formula and turns it into another simiilar type of formula. So, a polynomial will always yield a polynomial derivative. A trigonomic function will always yield a trigonomic derivative. There are a few exceptions, but this is generally the case. This is also true for the integral. Back To Top Geometrically, the derivative can be perceived as the slope of the tangent line to a curve at a given point. This is roughly how steep the curve is at a given point. We can easily find the rate of change of a line just by finding the slope. But, most formulas are not as simple as a line and they're usually curved. We use the basic formula of a line to get the derivative. If you remember the slope of a line is:

Line Sketch
One line, Y=X, is fixed. You can manipulate the position of another line, Y=MX+B, by altering the values of M or B. There are also questions to go with this graph.
Parabola Sketch 1
Similar to the first graph, here there's a fixed parabola Y=X^2, and one to experiment with, Y=AX^2+C.
Parabola Sketch 2
Change even more variables by comparing Y=X^2 with Y=A(X-H)^2+K.

Tangent Line Problem
Given a function f and a point P on f, find an equation of the tangent to the graph at P. Why would you want to do this, and how would you go about solving this problem? These five sketches take you step-by-step through the solution of the tangent line problem:

Analysis 2.3beta2
by Davide Bucci
Download
Analysis 2.3beta2 is the last version of a computer program to which I have worked for more than five years. Initially conceived as a simple tool for function plotting in high school, by now it has become a really powerful instrument that can be used on first and second year calculus courses at the university. The program sources can be downloaded on the web under the terms of the GNU General Public License v. 2.
Analysis is obviously more little and less powerful of a lot of terrible math program that you can find (and pay!), but it requires a fraction of the time necessary to be skilled in and it is really smart, rapid and easy to use: you can run it by a 1.44 MB diskette on old computers!
Is that the thing that is more interesting: it is really good for helping you in verifying your exercises without forcing you in using complex functions on terrible computer programs. This document is part of the official documentation and can be printed if you want to have a short resume of the principal possibilities of Analysis.
Who used a previous version of the software, will find a lot of news that would probably appreciate; there is also the possibility of choosing the language used by the program between English, French and Italian. Whoever would like to help me and translate Analysis in other languages can find me at

Elementary Calculus: An Approach Using Infinitesimals
On-line Edition, by H. Jerome Keisler
This is a calculus textbook at the college Freshman level based on Abraham Robinson's infinitesimals, which date from 1960. Robinson's modern infinitesimal approach puts the intuitive ideas of the founders of the calculus on a mathematically sound footing, and is easier for beginners to understand than the more common approach via limits.

Abstract: We introduce the type theory ¯ v , a call-by-value variant of Parigot's ¯-calculus, as a Curry-Howard representation theory of classical propositional proofs. The associated rewrite system is Church-Rosser and strongly normalizing, and definitional equality of the type theory is consistent, compatible with cut, congruent and decidable. The attendant call-by-value programming language ¯pcf v is obtained from ¯ v by augmenting it by basic arithmetic, conditionals and fixpoints. We study the... (Update)
Context of citations to this paper: More ...formal ways of reasoning about them would be useful. One possibility is equational reasoning using control calculi such as C [2] or The counterexample in Section 3 shows the limitations of these calculi, however, in that their equational theories are not consistent...

    Abstract: Classical logic is one of the best examples of a mathematical theory that is truly useful to computer science. Hardware and software engineers apply the theory routinely. Yet from a foundational standpoint, there are aspects of classical logic that are problematic. Unlike intuitionistic logic, classical logic is often held to be non-constructive, and so, is said to admit no proof semantics. To draw an analogy in the proofsas -programs paradigm, it is as if we understand well the theory of... (Update)
