In mathematics , a functional calculus is a theory allowing one to apply mathematical function s to mathematical operator s. It is now a branch more accurately, several related areas of the field of functional analysis , connected with spectral theory . Historically, the term was also used synonymously with calculus of variations this usage is obsolescent, see though functional derivative . Sometimes it is used in relation to types of functional equation , or in logic for systems of predicate calculus . If f is a function, say a numerical function of a real number , and M is an operator, there is no particular reason why the expression f M should make sense. If it does, then we are no longer using f on its original function domain . In the tradition of operational calculus , algebraic expressions in operators are handled irrespective of their meaning. This passes nearly unnoticed if we talk about squaring a matrix , though, which is the case of f x x sup 2 sup and M an n × n matrix mathematics matrix . The idea of a functional calculus is to create a principled approach to this kind of overloading of the notation. The most immediate case is to apply polynomial function s to a square matrix , extending what has just been discussed. In the finite dimensional case, the polynomial functional calculus yields quite a bit of information about the operator. For example, consider the family of polynomials which annihilates an operator T . This family is an ideal ring theory ideal ... be used to calculate the Exponential function exponential of T efficiently. The polynomial calculus ... calculus the ideal defined above is now trivial.

In computer science, Api calculus was introduced in 2002 as an extension of pi calculus to address some of the limitations of pi calculus for modeling intelligent agents ref http www.cs.siu.edu rahimi rahimi ch7.pdf Rahimi 2002 Shahram Rahimi, Maria Cobb, Dia Ali, Fred Petry, A Modeling Tool for Intelligent Agent Based Systems Api Calculus, Soft Computing Agents A New Perspective for Dynamic Systems, the International Series Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence and Application by IOS Press, pp. 165 186, 2002. ref . More specifically, it addresses knowledge representation , organizational grouping and migration of agents among groups. Moreover, it has the potential for modeling the security aspects of Agent based model agent based systems . Api calculus introduces three new concepts over ordinary pi calculus and its extensions, the higher order and polyadic pi calculi. To represent knowledge inherent in an autonomous agent, the concept of a knowledge unit is introduced. A knowledge unit is an intelligence entity that can perform inference. Agents have the capability to add drop facts i.e. Predicate logic predicate s or Propositional calculus propositions to from a knowledge unit and also modify its structure by adding new rules or eliminating existing ones. Each mobile agent is capable of carrying one or more knowledge units and sending and receiving them to from other agents. However, the concept of knowledge unit only provides an abstraction level with no resources for intelligence modeling. Moreover, api calculus introduces milieu , a new level of abstraction that is in between single mobile agents and the system as a whole. And lastly, Api calculus introduces the notion of term . A term consists of a name, a rule fact used to create or modify knowledge units , or a function, where a name can be a channel or a variable.In the standard pi calculus, names are the only terms.

Unreferenced date June 2007 The term ethical calculus , when used generally, refers to any method of determining a course of action in a circumstance that is not explicitly evaluated in one s ethical code . A formal philosophy of ethical calculus is a recent development in the study of ethics , combining elements of natural selection , self organizing systems , emergence , and algorithm theory. Ethical calculus is based on the premise that moral and ethical codes are emergent algorithm s, epiphenomena of large groups of sentient beings, and that a given moral code or ethical code behaves in organic ways, seeking to prolong itself. According to ethical calculus, the most ethical course of action in a situation is an absolute, but rather than being based on a static ethical code, the ethical code itself is a function of circumstances. The ideal Ethic is the course of action taken in a given situation by an omnipotent, omniscient being. The optimal ethic is the best possible course of action taken by an individual with the given limitations. The standard of judgment is the continuation of situations in which ethics are relevant. While ethical calculus is, in some ways, similar to moral relativism , the former finds its grounds in the circumstance while the latter depends on social and cultural context for moral judgment. Ethical calculus would most accurately be regarded as a form of dynamic moral absolutism .

Unreferenced date December 2009 Policy Debate In policy debate , impact calculus is a type of argumentation which seeks to compare the impacts presented by both teams. Basic impact calculus There are three basic types of impact calculus that compare the impacts of the plan to the impacts of a disadvantage Probability one impact is more likely e.g. Economic collapse is more probable than an outbreak of grey goo , therefore the risk of economic collapse outweighs the risk of a grey goo disaster. Timeframe one impact will happen faster e.g. An asteroid impact will cause extinction before Global warming will, therefore an asteroid impact outweighs Global Warming. Magnitude one impact is bigger e.g. Nuclear war kills more people than car accidents. Other types of impact calculus Some other more sophisticated arguments are also considered impact calculus Impact inclusivity one impact is inclusive of the other e.g. Global war is inclusive of a Taiwan war, therefore global war outweighs Taiwan war. X creates Y one impact causes the other impact to happen e.g. War causes genocide, therefore war outweighs genocide Internal link shortcircuiting one impact prevents a positive impact from happening e.g. Nuclear war halts space colonization, therefore nuclear war outweighs space colonization Reversibility e.g. Civil liberties lost in the name of security during a time of crisis can be restored later, but deaths caused by a lack of security are irreversible.

In Asian countries calculus bovis are harvested when cattle Bos taurus domesticus Gmelin are slaughtered. Their gall bladder s are taken out, the bile is filtered, and the stones are cleaned and dried. In western countries they are usually discarded. Calculus bovis have a color varying from golden yellow to brownish yellow. The shape of a stone is variable and depends on how it was formed, becoming spherical, oval, triangular, tubular or irregular. Since natural calculus bovis are scarce they can be very expensive. There are artificial calculus bovis used as substitutes.
