It is important in several areas of mathematics and its applications to be able to form functions of operators. In 1951 R. Feynman invented some rules, in his paper "An operator calculus having applications in quantum electrodynamics", for forming functions of noncommuting operators. The most extensively studied and applied approach to Feynman's operational (or functional) calculus is the noncommutative operational calculus created by V. Maslov in the early 1970's. Recently Jefferies and Johnson developed a mathematically rigorous approach to Feynman's operational calculi. We introduce some basic properties of these two approaches. Also we discuss the measure permutation formulas in Jefferies-Johnson's theory of Feynman's operational calculi. These formulas correspond to the index permutation formula in Maslov's discretised version of Feynman's operational calculus.
