• Abstract:

  Differential calculus is a branch of mathematics developed from algebra and geometry in which the definition, applications of derivatives and their properties are studied. In this context, this work addressed the main functions of differential calculus through its use in the field of medicine, seeking precisely the best practices for patient prophylaxis and treatment. The current work was developed through the scientific initiation and master's project (PICME), in which weekly meetings were held where doubts were resolved and a new topic was chosen to be studied to present the advances achieved. With this, the theme was selected together with the advisor and later studied the theory of calculus with the choice of exercises being applied in the medical area. It is concluded that the mathematical relationships developed by differential calculus have relevance in understanding the mechanism of body functioning, which leads to the development of innovative possibilities for pharmacological treatment, while at the same time supporting the epidemiological calculations that determine the course of diseases and define measures. health and humanitarian.
