  2. Difference quotient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Difference_quotient

    Difference quotient. In single-variable calculus, the difference quotient is usually the name for the expression. which when taken to the limit as h approaches 0 gives the derivative of the function f. [1][2][3][4] The name of the expression stems from the fact that it is the quotient of the difference of values of the function by the ...

  3. 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.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbolab

    Symbolab is an answer engine [1] that provides step-by-step solutions to mathematical problems in a range of subjects. [2] It was originally developed by Israeli start-up company EqsQuest Ltd., under whom it was released for public use in 2011. In 2020, the company was acquired by American educational technology website Course Hero. [3][4]

  5. Fractional calculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractional_calculus

    t. e. Fractional calculus is a branch of mathematical analysis that studies the several different possibilities of defining real number powers or complex number powers of the differentiation operator. and of the integration operator [Note 1] and developing a calculus for such operators generalizing the classical one.

  6. Chain rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chain_rule

    t. e. 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, The chain rule may also be expressed in ...

  7. 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.

  8. Symmetric derivative - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetric_derivative

    Symmetric derivative. In mathematics, the symmetric derivative is an operation generalizing the ordinary derivative. It is defined as: [1][2] The expression under the limit is sometimes called the symmetric difference quotient. [3][4] A function is said to be symmetrically differentiable at a point x if its symmetric derivative exists at that ...

  9. Runge–Kutta methods - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runge–Kutta_methods

    It follows from the formula that r is the quotient of two polynomials of degree s if the method has s stages. Explicit methods have a strictly lower triangular matrix A, which implies that det(I − zA) = 1 and that the stability function is a polynomial. [32] The numerical solution to the linear test equation decays to zero if | r(z) | < 1 ...
