Research on the Application of MATLAB in Differential Calculus of Higher Mathematics in Higher Vocational Colleges

Abstract

Advanced Mathematics is a compulsory professional basic course for science and engineering majors in vocational colleges. Its
main contents include functions, limits, calculus of single-variable functions, calculus of multivariable functions, ordinary differential equations, and infinite series. The core content is calculus, mainly consisting of differential calculus and integral calculus. Differential calculus is
the foundation of integral calculus. Based on a review of existing studies, this paper investigates the application of Matrix Laboratory (MATLAB) in the differential calculus section, and refines and designs the application scenarios and operation commands of the differential calculus
section. This not only simplifies the calculations but also helps students gain intuitive perceptual understanding and rational comprehension,
improving their learning efficiency and stimulating their interest in learning.
