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)`.
|
|
