  2. Differentiable curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differentiable_curve

    The formula simplifies: = ′ (). The unit tangent vector determines the orientation of the curve, or the forward direction, corresponding to the increasing values of the parameter. The unit tangent vector taken as a curve traces the spherical image of the original curve.

  3. Quotient rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quotient_rule

    In calculus, the quotient rule is a method of finding the derivative of a function that is the ratio of two differentiable functions. Let () = (), where both f and g are differentiable and ()

  4. Numerical methods for ordinary differential equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_methods_for...

    Ordinary differential equations occur in many scientific disciplines, including physics, chemistry, biology, and economics. [1] In addition, some methods in numerical partial differential equations convert the partial differential equation into an ordinary differential equation, which must then be solved.

  5. Gradient theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gradient_theorem

    In physics this theorem is one of the ways of defining a conservative force. By placing φ as potential, ∇ φ is a conservative field . Work done by conservative forces does not depend on the path followed by the object, but only the end points, as the above equation shows.

  6. AP Physics 2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AP_Physics_2

    In February 2014, the official course description and sample curriculum resources were posted to the College Board website, with two practice exams being posted the next month. As of September 2014, face to face workshops are dedicated solely to AP Physics 1 & AP Physics 2. The full course was first taught in 2014, with the exam given in 2015.

  7. Gateaux derivative - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gateaux_derivative

    Continuous differentiability Continuous Gateaux differentiability may be defined in two inequivalent ways. Suppose that F : U → Y {\displaystyle F\colon U\to Y} is Gateaux differentiable at each point of the open set U . {\displaystyle U.}

  8. Distribution (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distribution_(mathematics)

    The action (the integration ) of this distribution on a test function can be interpreted as a weighted average of the distribution on the support of the test function, even if the values of the distribution at a single point are not well-defined.

  9. Differential of a function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_of_a_function

    In calculus, the differential represents the principal part of the change in a function = with respect to changes in the independent variable. The differential is defined by = ′ (), where ′ is the derivative of f with respect to , and is an additional real variable (so that is a function of and ).
