Abstract: We present the general method to introduce the generalized Chern-Simons form and the descent equation which contain the scalar field in addition to the gauge fields. It is based on the technique in a noncommutative differential geometry (NCG) which extends the $N$-dimensional Minkowski space $M_N$ to the discrete space such as $M_{N}imes{Z}_2$ with two point space $Z_2$. However, the resultant equations do not depend on NCG but are justified by the algebraic rules in the ordinary differential geometry.
