  2. Differential form - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_form

    A key consequence of this is that "the integral of a closed form over homologous chains is equal": If ω is a closed k-form and M and N are k-chains that are homologous (such that M − N is the boundary of a (k + 1)-chain W), then =, since the difference is the integral = =.

  3. 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 ...

    Define e x as the value of the infinite series = =! = + +! +! +! + (Here n! denotes the factorial of n. One proof that e is irrational uses a special case of this formula.) Inverse of logarithm integral.

  5. Power rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_rule

    The power rule for differentiation was derived by Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, each independently, for rational power functions in the mid 17th century, who both then used it to derive the power rule for integrals as the inverse operation. This mirrors the conventional way the related theorems are presented in modern basic ...

  6. Matrix exponential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_exponential

    Define e t (z) ≡ e tz, and n ≡ deg P. Then S t (z) is the unique degree < n polynomial which satisfies S t (k) (a) = e t (k) (a) whenever k is less than the multiplicity of a as a root of P. We assume, as we obviously can, that P is the minimal polynomial of A. We further assume that A is a diagonalizable matrix.

  7. Second partial derivative test - Wikipedia

    Therefore, the second condition, that f xx be greater (or less) than zero, could equivalently be that f yy or tr(H) = f xx + f yy be greater (or less) than zero at that point. A condition implicit in the statement of the test is that if f x x = 0 {\displaystyle f_{xx}=0} or f y y = 0 {\displaystyle f_{yy}=0} , it must be the case that D ( a , b ...

  8. Distribution (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    So although () depends on both K and U, only K is typically indicated. The justification for this common practice is detailed below . The notation C k ( K ; U ) {\displaystyle C^{k}(K;U)} will only be used when the notation C k ( K ) {\displaystyle C^{k}(K)} risks being ambiguous.

  9. Differential of a function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_of_a_function

    The differential was first introduced via an intuitive or heuristic definition by Isaac Newton and furthered by Gottfried Leibniz, who thought of the differential dy as an infinitely small (or infinitesimal) change in the value y of the function, corresponding to an infinitely small change dx in the function's argument x.
