If dr = (dx, dy, dz) so, which is the correct form for d²r? Is (d²x, d²y, d²z) or (dy^dz, dz^dx, dx^dy) ?
The discussion revolves around the components of the vector d²r in relation to the differential dr, exploring the definitions and interpretations of these mathematical expressions. The scope includes theoretical considerations and potential applications in calculus and physics.
Participants express varying interpretations of d²r, with no consensus on its components or practical application. The discussion remains unresolved regarding the correct form of d²r.
There are limitations in the clarity of definitions and assumptions regarding the notation used, which contribute to the confusion and disagreement among participants.

MuIotaTau said:I imagine he's referring to the "numerator" of a second derivative such as ##\frac{d^2 \vec{r}}{dt^2}## in analogy with his identification of the differential form ##d\vec{r}## with the "numerator" of a first derivative.
