  3. Fractional calculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractional_calculus

    In applied mathematics and mathematical analysis, a fractional derivative is a derivative of any arbitrary order, real or complex. Its first appearance is in a letter written to Guillaume de l'Hôpital by Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz in 1695. [2] Around the same time, Leibniz wrote to one of the Bernoulli brothers describing the similarity between ...

  4. Partial fraction decomposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_fraction_decomposition

    The factor x 2 − 4x + 8 is irreducible over the reals, as its discriminant (−4) 24×8 = −16 is negative. Thus the partial fraction decomposition over the reals has the shape Thus the partial fraction decomposition over the reals has the shape

  5. List of mathematical series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mathematical_series

    An infinite series of any rational function of can be reduced to a finite series of polygamma functions, by use of partial fraction decomposition, [8] as explained here. This fact can also be applied to finite series of rational functions, allowing the result to be computed in constant time even when the series contains a large number of terms.

  6. 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.

  7. Grünwald–Letnikov derivative - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grünwald–Letnikov...

    In mathematics, the Grünwald–Letnikov derivative is a basic extension of the derivative in fractional calculus that allows one to take the derivative a non-integer number of times. It was introduced by Anton Karl Grünwald (1838–1920) from Prague , in 1867, and by Aleksey Vasilievich Letnikov (1837–1888) in Moscow in 1868.

  8. Heaviside cover-up method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heaviside_cover-up_method

    Set up a partial fraction for each factor in the denominator. With this framework we apply the cover-up rule to solve for A, B, and C. D 1 is x + 1; set it equal to zero. This gives the residue for A when x = −1. Next, substitute this value of x into the fractional expression, but without D 1. Put this value down as the value of A.

  9. Differentiation rules - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differentiation_rules

    The derivative of the function at a point is the slope of the line tangent to the curve at the point. Slope of the constant function is zero, because the tangent line to the constant function is horizontal and its angle is zero. In other words, the value of the constant function, y, will not change as the value of x increases or decreases.
