  This web site is edited by N.Ishinabe Certified Public Tax Accountant Office in Japan about "Business Calculus", one of  the 21st century business problem-solving methods that introduces calculus into business. The 21st century, which  started with " Y2K  (computer year 2000 problem)", also experienced global damage caused by the new coronavirus (Covid- 19) in 2020, starting with global  warming. New management methods are required for corporate management to respond  to these drastic changes in the business environment. One solution is business calculus, which recognizes business as  science problems.        

  Business calculus is a branch of mathematics that focuses on the applications of calculus in the fields of business,  finance, and economics. It uses mathematical concepts to analyze and solve problems related to optimization, rates of  change, accumulation in  business contexts. Some of the key topics covered in business calculus include functions, limits  and continuity, derivatives, Integrals, optimization.

3.5W1H for business calculus
* What is business calculus?(What)
　It is a new field of business administration that uses calculus to solve business problems. In Japan it is not familiar,  however it will  be  the subject that you can see recently at business schools/MBAs. By applying calculus, we grasp  business problems multi- dimensionally, such as point (0-dimensional)-> line(1-dimensional)-> surface (2-dimensional)->  volume (3-dimensional)-> adding  time(4-dimensional). For example, a break-even space analysis is better than a break-even point analysis in 21st-century  business, where uncertainty is high.

* Who is the target audience for business calculus? (Who)
  It is intended for people who are in charge of business management in practice, including university(graduate) students  studying  business administration.

 It is part of business decision-making areas such as investment, forecasting, and others.

* Why is business calculus necessary? (WHY)
　Until the 20th century, the mid-term management plan (MRP: Mid Range Plan) was a powerful management method  based  on the  premise that "the present and future are an extension of the past." In the 21st century, many companies  cannot respond to the drastic changes in the business environment with medium-term plans. Business calculus can also  be said to be one of the  management methods for dealing with drastic environmental changes in the 21stcentury.
