Théorème de dérivation des fonctions composéesEn mathématiques, dans le domaine de l'analyse, le théorème de dérivation des fonctions composées (parfois appelé règle de dérivation en chaîne ou règle de la chaîne, selon l'appellation anglaise) est une formule explicitant la dérivée d'une fonction composée pour deux fonctions dérivables. Elle permet de connaître la j-ème dérivée partielle de la i-ème application partielle de la composée de deux fonctions de plusieurs variables chacune.
Quotient ruleIn calculus, the quotient rule is a method of finding the derivative of a function that is the ratio of two differentiable functions. 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. Given , let , then using the quotient rule: The quotient rule can be used to find the derivative of as follows: Reciprocal rule The reciprocal rule is a special case of the quotient rule in which the numerator .
Differentiation rulesThis is a summary of differentiation rules, that is, rules for computing the derivative of a function in calculus. Unless otherwise stated, all functions are functions of real numbers (R) that return real values; although more generally, the formulae below apply wherever they are well defined — including the case of complex numbers (C). For any value of , where , if is the constant function given by , then . Let and . By the definition of the derivative, This shows that the derivative of any constant function is 0.
Power ruleIn calculus, the power rule is used to differentiate functions of the form , whenever is a real number. Since differentiation is a linear operation on the space of differentiable functions, polynomials can also be differentiated using this rule. The power rule underlies the Taylor series as it relates a power series with a function's derivatives. Let be a function satisfying for all , where . Then, The power rule for integration states that for any real number . It can be derived by inverting the power rule for differentiation.
Fonction thêtaEn mathématiques, on appelle fonctions thêta certaines fonctions spéciales d'une ou de plusieurs variables complexes. Elles apparaissent dans plusieurs domaines, comme l'étude des variétés abéliennes, des espaces de modules, et les formes quadratiques. Elles ont aussi des applications à la théorie des solitons. Leurs généralisations en algèbre extérieure apparaissent dans la théorie quantique des champs, plus précisément dans la théorie des cordes et des D-branes.
