Course Objectives	A time scale is an arbitrary nonempty closed subset of the real numbers. The calculus of time scales was initiated by B.Aulbach and S.Hilger in 1990 in order to create a theory that can unify discrete and continuous analysis. It allows a simultaneous treatment of differential and difference equations, extending those theories to so-called dynamic equations. This course gives an introduction to this subject.
Course Learning Outcomes	The students who succeeded in this course; perform differentiation and integration of functions whose domain of definition may have more complicated structure containing discrete and continuous parts, understand and apply the special functions on time scales, have tools for mathematical modeling of practical problems having discrete and continuous components simultaneously.
Course Content	The h-derivative and the q-derivative, the concept of a time scale, differentiation on time scales, integration on time scales, Taylor?s Formula on time scales.
