Calculation of Fourier Transform Derivative d/dw (F{x(t)})=d/dw(X(w)) Hello to my Math Fellows, Problem: I am looking for a way to calculate w-derivative of Fourier transform,d/dw (F{x(t)}), in terms of regular Fourier transform,X(w)=F{x(t)}. Definition Based Solution (not good enough): from...

I thought I would give you guys some justification for why I keep pestering you with this odd numerical technique. I've mentioned its advantages over finite differences quite a few times, so now I am putting it up against symbolic differentiation. Here is a plot of the function ##x^2 /...

I first solved the first two terms and then i solved the resulting term with the third term and so on.At last i was left with x^n/((x-a1)(x-a2)...(x-an)) .Thrn i took log on both sides and then differentiated both sides with respect to x.I got 1/y dy/dx=n/x -1/(x-a1)-1/(x-a2)...-1/(x-an).But now...

This is a brief interactive session using my ODE Playground, which is my repository of Automatic Differentiation code. It illustrates two solutions of ##\sqrt {2}## with the user-specified function provided via a lambda, using Newton's method and then bisection. Note that the user needs to...

Okay so I'm really not sure where I went wrong here; here's how I worked through it: $$\ln\left(y+x\right)=x$$ $$\frac{\frac{dy}{dx}+1}{y+x}=1$$ $$\frac{dy}{dx}+1=y+x$$ If ##\ln\left(y+x\right)=x## then ##y+x=e^x## and ##y=e^x-x## $$\frac{dy}{dx}=y+x-1$$ $$\frac{dy}{dx}=e^x-x+x-1$$...

My Question : Shouldn't differentiating ##-log B## give ##\frac{-\delta B}{B}##? (Note : A, B and Z are variables not constants) By extension for ##Z=A^a \,B^b\, C^c## where ##c## is negative, should ##\frac{\Delta Z}Z=|a|\frac{\Delta A}A+|b|\frac{\Delta B}B-|c|\frac{\Delta C}C##?

I'm self-studying field theory and trying to solidify my understanding of index manipulations. So I've been told that there is a general rule: " If the index is lowered on the 'denominator' then it's a raised index". My question is whether this is just a rule or something that can make sense...

I was taking notes recently for delta y/ delta x and noticed there's more than one way to skin a cat... or is there? I saw the leibniz dy/dx, the triangle of change i was taught to use for "difference" Δy/Δx, and the mirror six ∂f/∂x which is some sort of partial differential or something...

Why we write differently d in partial derivation differentiation? Is it because of several variables? Edited by mentor -- the action of finding a derivative is called differentiation.
