  2. Difference quotient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Difference_quotient

    lim Δ P → 0 {\displaystyle \lim _ {\Delta P\rightarrow 0}\,\!} ), then ΔF (P) is known as an infinitesimal difference, with specific denotations of dP and dF (P) (in calculus graphing, the point is almost exclusively identified as "x" and F (x) as "y"). The function difference divided by the point difference is known as "difference quotient":

  3. Numerical differentiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_differentiation

    Numerical differentiation. Finite difference estimation of derivative. In numerical analysis, numerical differentiation algorithms estimate the derivative of a mathematical function or function subroutine using values of the function and perhaps other knowledge about the function.

  4. Finite difference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_difference

    A finite difference is a mathematical expression of the form f (x + b) − f (x + a).If a finite difference is divided by b − a, one gets a difference quotient.The approximation of derivatives by finite differences plays a central role in finite difference methods for the numerical solution of differential equations, especially boundary value problems.

  5. Long division - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_division

    Long division. In arithmetic, long division is a standard division algorithm suitable for dividing multi-digit Hindu-Arabic numerals ( Positional notation) that is simple enough to perform by hand. It breaks down a division problem into a series of easier steps.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differentiation_rules

    Differentiation is linear. The product rule. The chain rule. The inverse function rule. Power laws, polynomials, quotients, and reciprocals. The polynomial or elementary power rule. The reciprocal rule. The quotient rule. Generalized power rule.

  7. Finite difference method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_difference_method

    t. e. In numerical analysis, finite-difference methods ( FDM) are a class of numerical techniques for solving differential equations by approximating derivatives with finite differences. Both the spatial domain and time domain (if applicable) are discretized, or broken into a finite number of intervals, and the values of the solution at the end ...

  8. Quotient rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quotient_rule

    Calculus. In calculus, the quotient rule is a method of finding the derivative of a function that is the ratio of two differentiable functions. [1] [2] [3] Let , where both f and g are differentiable and The quotient rule states that the derivative of h(x) is. It is provable in many ways by using other derivative rules .

  9. Division algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_algorithm

    Long division is the standard algorithm used for pen-and-paper division of multi-digit numbers expressed in decimal notation. It shifts gradually from the left to the right end of the dividend, subtracting the largest possible multiple of the divisor (at the digit level) at each stage; the multiples then become the digits of the quotient, and the final difference is then the remainder.
