  2. Implicit function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Implicit_function

    An implicit function is a function that is defined by an implicit equation, that relates one of the variables, considered as the value of the function, with the others considered as the arguments. [ 1 ] : 204–206 For example, the equation x 2 + y 2 − 1 = 0 {\displaystyle x^{2}+y^{2}-1=0} of the unit circle defines y as an implicit function ...

  3. Calculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculus

    Differential calculus is the study of the definition, properties, and applications of the derivative of a function. The process of finding the derivative is called differentiation. Given a function and a point in the domain, the derivative at that point is a way of encoding the small-scale behavior of the function near that point.

  4. Differential calculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_calculus

    Differential calculus and integral calculus are connected by the fundamental theorem of calculus. This states that differentiation is the reverse process to integration. Differentiation has applications in nearly all quantitative disciplines.

    Differentiation with respect to time or one of the other variables requires application of the chain rule, [1] since most problems involve several variables. Fundamentally, if a function F {\displaystyle F} is defined such that F = f ( x ) {\displaystyle F=f(x)} , then the derivative of the function F {\displaystyle F} can be taken with respect ...

  7. Derivative - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derivative

    The discrete equivalent of differentiation is finite differences. The study of differential calculus is unified with the calculus of finite differences in time scale calculus. [53] The arithmetic derivative involves the function that is defined for the integers by the prime factorization. This is an analogy with the product rule. [54]

  8. Implicit function theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Implicit_function_theorem

    The unit circle can be specified as the level curve f(x, y) = 1 of the function f(x, y) = x 2 + y 2.Around point A, y can be expressed as a function y(x).In this example this function can be written explicitly as () =; in many cases no such explicit expression exists, but one can still refer to the implicit function y(x).

  9. Exact differential equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exact_differential_equation

    Implicit differentiation of the exact second-order equation times will yield an (+) th-order differential equation with new conditions for exactness that can be readily deduced from the form of the equation produced. For example, differentiating the above second-order differential equation once to yield a third-order exact equation gives the ...
