  2. Chain rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chain_rule

    All extensions of calculus have a chain rule. In most of these, the formula remains the same, though the meaning of that formula may be vastly different. One generalization is to manifolds. In this situation, the chain rule represents the fact that the derivative of f ∘ g is the composite of the derivative of f and the derivative of g. This ...

  3. Total derivative - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_derivative

    The chain rule has a particularly elegant statement in terms of total derivatives. It says that, for two functions f {\displaystyle f} and g {\displaystyle g} , the total derivative of the composite function f ∘ g {\displaystyle f\circ g} at a {\displaystyle a} satisfies

    Big idea: use chain rule to compute rate of change of distance between two vehicles. Plan: Choose coordinate system; Identify variables; Draw picture; Big idea: use chain rule to compute rate of change of distance between two vehicles; Express c in terms of x and y via Pythagorean theorem; Express dc/dt using chain rule in terms of dx/dt and dy/dt

  5. Chain rule (probability) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chain_rule_(probability)

    This rule allows one to express a joint probability in terms of only conditional probabilities. [4] The rule is notably used in the context of discrete stochastic processes and in applications, e.g. the study of Bayesian networks, which describe a probability distribution in terms of conditional probabilities.

  6. Triple product rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_product_rule

    Suppose a function f(x, y, z) = 0, where x, y, and z are functions of each other. Write the total differentials of the variables = + = + Substitute dy into dx = [() + ()] + By using the chain rule one can show the coefficient of dx on the right hand side is equal to one, thus the coefficient of dz must be zero () + = Subtracting the second term and multiplying by its inverse gives the triple ...

  7. Vector calculus identities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_calculus_identities

    The validity of this rule follows from the validity of the Feynman method, for one may always substitute a subscripted del and then immediately drop the subscript under the condition of the rule. For example, from the identity A ⋅( B × C ) = ( A × B )⋅ C we may derive A ⋅(∇× C ) = ( A ×∇)⋅ C but not ∇⋅( B × C ) = (∇× B ...

  9. Itô calculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Itô_calculus

    This is the stochastic calculus version of the change of variables formula and chain rule. It differs from the standard result due to the additional term involving the second derivative of f , which comes from the property that Brownian motion has non-zero quadratic variation .
