Calculus. 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.
The rule of three [1] was a historical shorthand version for a particular form of cross-multiplication that could be taught to students by rote. It was considered the height of Colonial maths education [ 2 ] and still figures in the French national curriculum for secondary education, [ 3 ] and in the primary education curriculum of Spain.
In mathematics, the cross product or vector product (occasionally directed area product, to emphasize its geometric significance) is a binary operation on two vectors in a three-dimensional oriented Euclidean vector space (named here ), and is denoted by the symbol . Given two linearly independent vectors a and b, the cross product, a × b ...
In combinatorics, the rule of product or multiplication principle is a basic counting principle (a.k.a. the fundamental principle of counting). Stated simply, it is the intuitive idea that if there are a ways of doing something and b ways of doing another thing, then there are a · b ways of performing both actions. [1][2]
The Product Rule is a proper name Pizza Puzzle. There's plenty of other identities which can be called product rules. There must be 15 of them involving curls and divs and grads and what not. But I'm an opponent of pre-emptive disambiguation, so I say leave it unless there's a real need to move it.
Another commonly used rule is that both values np and n(1 − p) must be greater than [33] [34] or equal to 5. However, the specific number varies from source to source, and depends on how good an approximation one wants. In particular, if one uses 9 instead of 5, the rule implies the results stated in the previous paragraphs.
Gradient. The gradient, represented by the blue arrows, denotes the direction of greatest change of a scalar function. The values of the function are represented in greyscale and increase in value from white (low) to dark (high). In vector calculus, the gradient of a scalar-valued differentiable function of several variables is the vector field ...
Three distinct styles are popular in the literature. This subsection adopts the product notation for product integration instead of the integral (usually modified by a superimposed times symbol or letter P) favoured by Volterra and others. An arbitrary classification of types is adopted to impose some order in the field.
