  2. Chain rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chain_rule

    All extensions of calculus have a chain rule. In most of these, the formula remains the same, though the meaning of that formula may be vastly different. One generalization is to manifolds. In this situation, the chain rule represents the fact that the derivative of f ∘ g is the composite of the derivative of f and the derivative of g. This ...

  3. Integration by substitution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integration_by_substitution

    In calculus, integration by substitution, also known as u-substitution, reverse chain rule or change of variables, [1] is a method for evaluating integrals and antiderivatives. It is the counterpart to the chain rule for differentiation , and can loosely be thought of as using the chain rule "backwards."

  4. Related rates - Wikipedia

    The chain rule can be used to find whether they are getting closer or further apart. For example, one can consider the kinematics problem where one vehicle is heading West toward an intersection at 80 miles per hour while another is heading North away from the intersection at 60 miles per hour.

  5. Change of variables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Change_of_variables

    In mathematics, a change of variables is a basic technique used to simplify problems in which the original variables are replaced with functions of other variables. The intent is that when expressed in new variables, the problem may become simpler, or equivalent to a better understood problem.

  7. Triple product rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_product_rule

    Suppose a function f(x, y, z) = 0, where x, y, and z are functions of each other. Write the total differentials of the variables = + = + Substitute dy into dx = [() + ()] + By using the chain rule one can show the coefficient of dx on the right hand side is equal to one, thus the coefficient of dz must be zero () + = Subtracting the second term and multiplying by its inverse gives the triple ...

  8. Integration by parts - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integration_by_parts

    In calculus, and more generally in mathematical analysis, integration by parts or partial integration is a process that finds the integral of a product of functions in terms of the integral of the product of their derivative and antiderivative. It is frequently used to transform the antiderivative of a product of functions into an ...

  9. Total derivative - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_derivative

    The chain rule has a particularly elegant statement in terms of total derivatives. It says that, for two functions f {\displaystyle f} and g {\displaystyle g} , the total derivative of the composite function f ∘ g {\displaystyle f\circ g} at a {\displaystyle a} satisfies
