A Comparison Study On Calculus Based On The Chinese And British High School Mathematics Curricula

Calculus is a landmark in the history of mathematics. It has been found that the two countries of China and Britain in high school stages of the calculus is very different, this has aroused this research, trying to solve the problem as followes: What's the meaning of the calculus in the middle school ? What's the difference between the two countries in the content?
