  2. Differential of a function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_of_a_function

    Product rule: For two differentiable functions f and g, () = +. An operation d with these two properties is known in abstract algebra as a derivation . They imply the power rule d ( f n ) = n f n − 1 d f {\displaystyle d(f^{n})=nf^{n-1}df} In addition, various forms of the chain rule hold, in increasing level of generality: [ 12 ]

  3. Chain rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chain_rule

    In calculus, the chain rule is a formula that expresses the derivative of the composition of two differentiable functions f and g in terms of the derivatives of f and g.More precisely, if = is the function such that () = (()) for every x, then the chain rule is, in Lagrange's notation, ′ = ′ (()) ′ (). or, equivalently, ′ = ′ = (′) ′.

  4. Euler characteristic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler_characteristic

    If G has C components (disconnected graphs), the same argument by induction on F shows that + = . One of the few graph theory papers of Cauchy also proves this result. Via stereographic projection the plane maps to the 2-sphere, such that a connected graph maps to a polygonal decomposition of the sphere, which has Euler characteristic 2.

  5. Characteristic function (probability theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Characteristic_function...

    Also, the characteristic function of the sample mean X of n independent observations has characteristic function φ X (t) = (e −|t|/n) n = e −|t|, using the result from the previous section. This is the characteristic function of the standard Cauchy distribution: thus, the sample mean has the same distribution as the population itself.

  6. Fréchet derivative - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fréchet_derivative

    In mathematics, the Fréchet derivative is a derivative defined on normed spaces.Named after Maurice Fréchet, it is commonly used to generalize the derivative of a real-valued function of a single real variable to the case of a vector-valued function of multiple real variables, and to define the functional derivative used widely in the calculus of variations.

  7. Volume of an n-ball - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_of_an_n-ball

    The volume can be computed without use of the Gamma function. As is proved below using a vector-calculus double integral in polar coordinates, the volume V of an n-ball of radius R can be expressed recursively in terms of the volume of an (n − 2)-ball, via the interleaved recurrence relation:

  8. Radial distribution function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radial_distribution_function

    For dilute systems (e.g. gases), the correlations in the positions of the particles that () accounts for are only due to the potential () engendered by the reference particle, neglecting indirect effects. In the first approximation, it is thus simply given by the Boltzmann distribution law:

  9. List of electromagnetism equations - Wikipedia

    Continuous charge distribution. The volume charge density ρ is the amount of charge per unit volume (cube), surface charge density σ is amount per unit surface area (circle) with outward unit normal nĚ‚, d is the dipole moment between two point charges, the volume density of these is the polarization density P.
