| Oct 9, 2014 at 17:21 | comment | added | babou | My intuition, but it may be personnal, is that it is two views, two sides of the same coin, à la Curry-Howard. Algebra emphasizes more the structural and relational aspect of mathematical entities. Calculus emphasizes more the algorithmic aspect, the way algebraic properties can be used to solve problems. This was my first instinctive answer before I started looking at other sources, and realized I had already answered that question. | |
