Divergence (analyse vectorielle)vignette|Les lignes bleues représentant les gradients de couleur, du plus clair au plus foncé. L'opérateur divergence permet de calculer, localement, la variation de ce gradient de couleur vignette|Illustration de la divergence d'un champ vectoriel, ici champ de vitesse converge à gauche et diverge à droite. En géométrie, la divergence d'un champ de vecteurs est un opérateur différentiel mesurant le défaut de conservation du volume sous l'action du flot de ce champ.
Probabilistic numericsProbabilistic numerics is an active field of study at the intersection of applied mathematics, statistics, and machine learning centering on the concept of uncertainty in computation. In probabilistic numerics, tasks in numerical analysis such as finding numerical solutions for integration, linear algebra, optimization and simulation and differential equations are seen as problems of statistical, probabilistic, or Bayesian inference.
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.
