In this presentation, we will discuss the calculus on time scales, which unifies the continuous, the discrete and the quantum calculus. The study of time scales (measure chains) goes back to its founder Stefan Hilger (1988), and is a relatively new field of fairly theoretical exploration in mathematics. The motivating subject is the notion of dynamic equations, which builds bridges between continuous and discrete mathematics. Further, the study of time scales has lead to fruitful applications, i.e., in the study of insect population models, neural networks, heat transfer, and other epidemic models.
