      A new, modular-structural, approach to development of large application programs is proposed which consists in uncontradictory integration of structural and modular approaches and includes their merits. In the frame of this approach the development of a new program follows the "from-top-to-bottom" method, and the modules resulting from function decomposition are generated separately so that to be used at developments of future programs with the "from-top-to-bottom" method.
      Principles of integrating modular and structural approaches, discipline of the integrated approach, and means of its ensuring, schemes of practical application of the approach at development of mathematical physics codes are described.
