The lecture discusses a new approach to numerical computations, allowing to build a simple and visual arithmetic for working not only with finite numbers, but also with an infinite and infinitesimal quantities. Arithmetic which has been made naturally spreads on property observed in the surrounding world "the whole is always greater than the parts" formulated by Greek philosophers and is used when dealing with finite numbers, infinite and infinitesimal quantities. A calculator for PCs, which performs numerical computations with infinite, finite and infinitesimal quantities is demonstrated during the lecture.
