Reverse accumulation traverses the chain rule from outside to inside, or in the case of the computational graph in Figure 3, from top to bottom. The example function is scalar-valued, and thus there is only one seed for the derivative computation, and only one sweep of the computational graph is needed to calculate the (two-component) gradient.
Desmos was founded by Eli Luberoff, a math and physics double major from Yale University, [3] and was launched as a startup at TechCrunch's Disrupt New York conference in 2011. [4] As of September 2012 [update] , it had received around 1 million US dollars of funding from Kapor Capital , Learn Capital, Kindler Capital, Elm Street Ventures and ...
The derivative of () at the point = is the slope of the tangent to (, ()). [3] In order to gain an intuition for this, one must first be familiar with finding the slope of a linear equation, written in the form y = m x + b {\displaystyle y=mx+b} .
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
A sigmoid function is any mathematical function whose graph has a characteristic S-shaped or sigmoid curve. A common example of a sigmoid function is the logistic function , which is defined by the formula: [ 1 ]
The graph of the Dirac delta is usually thought of as following the whole x-axis and the positive y-axis. [ 5 ] : 174 The Dirac delta is used to model a tall narrow spike function (an impulse ), and other similar abstractions such as a point charge , point mass or electron point.
The slope field of () = +, showing three of the infinitely many solutions that can be produced by varying the arbitrary constant c.. In calculus, an antiderivative, inverse derivative, primitive function, primitive integral or indefinite integral [Note 1] of a continuous function f is a differentiable function F whose derivative is equal to the original function f.
This can be motivated by the algebro-geometric point of view on the derivative of a function f from R to R at a point p. For this, note first that f − f(p) belongs to the ideal I p of functions on R which vanish at p. If the derivative f vanishes at p, then f − f(p) belongs to the square I p 2 of this ideal.
