Home > Calculus of Constructions

The Calculus of Constructions (CoC) is a higher-order typed lambda calculus where types are first-class values. It is thus possible, within the CoC, to define functions from, say, integers to types, types to types as well as functions from integers to integers. The CoC is strongly normalizing .

The CoC was initially developed by Thierry Coquand .

The CoC was the basis of the early versions of the Coq theorem prover; later versions were built upon the Calculus of Inductive Constructions an extension of CoC with native support for inductive datatypes. In the original CoC, inductive datatypes had to be emulated as their polymorphic destructor function.

CalculusFor other uses of the term calculus see calculus (disambiguation Calculus is a branch of mathematics, developed from algebra and geometry, involving two major complementary ideas: The first, called differential calculus is a theory about rates of change,	Calculus with polynomialsCalculus In mathematics, polynomials are perhaps the simplest functions with which to do calculus. Their derivatives and integrals are given by the following rules: : : Hence the derivative of x100 is 100x99 and the integral of x100 is x101/101 + c. Proof	Calculus of variationsCalculus of variations is a field of mathematics which deals with functions of functions, as opposed to ordinary calculus which deals with functions of numbers. Such functionals can for example be formed as integrals involving an unknown function and its
