  2. Differentiation rules - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differentiation_rules

    The derivatives in the table above are for when the range of the inverse secant is [,] and when the range of the inverse cosecant is [,]. It is common to additionally define an inverse tangent function with two arguments , arctan ⁡ ( y , x ) {\textstyle \arctan(y,x)} .

  3. Derivative - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derivative

    The derivative of ′ is the second derivative, denoted as ⁠ ″ ⁠, and the derivative of ″ is the third derivative, denoted as ⁠ ‴ ⁠. By continuing this process, if it exists, the ⁠ n {\displaystyle n} ⁠ th derivative is the derivative of the ⁠ ( n − 1 ) {\displaystyle (n-1)} ⁠ th derivative or the derivative of order ...

  4. Differential of a function - Wikipedia

    the partial differential of y with respect to any one of the variables x 1 is the principal part of the change in y resulting from a change dx 1 in that one variable. The partial differential is therefore involving the partial derivative of y with respect to x 1.

    For a vector field = (, …,), also called a tensor field of order 1, the gradient or total derivative is the n × n Jacobian matrix: = = = (). For a tensor field T {\displaystyle \mathbf {T} } of any order k , the gradient grad ⁡ ( T ) = d T = ( ∇ T ) T {\displaystyle \operatorname {grad} (\mathbf {T} )=d\mathbf {T} =(\nabla \mathbf {T ...

  6. Matrix calculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_calculus

    In mathematics, matrix calculus is a specialized notation for doing multivariable calculus, especially over spaces of matrices.It collects the various partial derivatives of a single function with respect to many variables, and/or of a multivariate function with respect to a single variable, into vectors and matrices that can be treated as single entities.

    In the neighbourhood of x 0, for a the best possible choice is always f(x 0), and for b the best possible choice is always f'(x 0). For c, d, and higher-degree coefficients, these coefficients are determined by higher derivatives of f. c should always be ⁠ f''(x 0) / 2 ⁠, and d should always be ⁠ f'''(x 0) / 3! ⁠.

  8. Notation for differentiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notation_for_differentiation

    It is particularly common when the equation y = f(x) is regarded as a functional relationship between dependent and independent variables y and x. Leibniz's notation makes this relationship explicit by writing the derivative as: [1].

  9. Chain rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chain_rule

    In calculus, the chain rule is a formula that expresses the derivative of the composition of two differentiable functions f and g in terms of the derivatives of f and g.More precisely, if = is the function such that () = (()) for every x, then the chain rule is, in Lagrange's notation, ′ = ′ (()) ′ (). or, equivalently, ′ = ′ = (′) ′.
