  2. Differentiation rules - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differentiation_rules

    Logarithmic differentiation is a technique which uses logarithms and its differentiation rules to simplify certain expressions before actually applying the derivative. [ citation needed ] Logarithms can be used to remove exponents, convert products into sums, and convert division into subtraction — each of which may lead to a simplified ...

  3. Notation for differentiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notation_for_differentiation

    for the first derivative, for the second derivative, for the third derivative, and for the nth derivative. When f is a function of several variables, it is common to use "∂", a stylized cursive lower-case d, rather than "D". As above, the subscripts denote the derivatives that are being taken.

  4. Derivative - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derivative

    In mathematics, the derivative is a fundamental tool that quantifies the sensitivity to change of a function's output with respect to its input. The derivative of a function of a single variable at a chosen input value, when it exists, is the slope of the tangent line to the graph of the function at that point.

  5. Arithmetic derivative - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetic_derivative

    Edward J. Barbeau extended the domain to all integers by showing that the choice D(−n) = −D(n) uniquely extends the domain to the integers and is consistent with the product formula. Barbeau also further extended it to the rational numbers, showing that the familiar quotient rule gives a well-defined derivative on :

  6. Quotient rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quotient_rule

    In calculus, the quotient rule is a method of finding the derivative of a function that is the ratio of two differentiable functions. Let h ( x ) = f ( x ) g ( x ) {\displaystyle h(x)={\frac {f(x)}{g(x)}}} , where both f and g are differentiable and g ( x ) ≠ 0. {\displaystyle g(x)\neq 0.}

  7. Product rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Product_rule

    In calculus, the product rule (or Leibniz rule [1] or Leibniz product rule) is a formula used to find the derivatives of products of two or more functions.For two functions, it may be stated in Lagrange's notation as () ′ = ′ + ′ or in Leibniz's notation as () = +.

  9. Derivation (differential algebra) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derivation_(differential...

    The partial derivative with respect to a variable is an R-derivation on the algebra of real-valued differentiable functions on R n. The Lie derivative with respect to a vector field is an R-derivation on the algebra of differentiable functions on a differentiable manifold; more generally it is a derivation on the tensor algebra of a manifold
