Differentiation Notations
================================
Leibniz's Notation
-------------------
The derivative of a function :math:`f` at :math:`x` is given
by :math:`\lim\limits_{h\to0} \frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}`.
The Leibniz's notation expresses the derivative of :math:`f` as :math:`\frac{dy}{dx}` with :math:`y=f(x)`.
More details `here <https://www.me.psu.edu/cimbala/me420/Homework/dydx_quotient_article.html>`__.
.. note::
The following :math:`\frac{dx}{dt}` means :math:`x` is a function of :math:`t` such as :math:`x=f(t)`.
See explanations `here <https://www.khanacademy.org/math/ap-calculus-ab/ab-diff-contextual-applications-new/ab-4-4/v/differentiating-related-functions-intro>`__.
