FunctionAdvisor/differentiation_rule - return the differentiation rule of a given mathematical function
Calling Sequence
FunctionAdvisor(differentiation_rule, math_function)
Parameters
differentiation_rule
-
literal name; 'differentiation_rule'
math_function
Maple name of mathematical function
Description
The FunctionAdvisor(differentiation_rule, math_function) command returns the differentiation rule for the function.
Examples
The variables used by the FunctionAdvisor command to create the calling sequence are local variables. To make the FunctionAdvisor command return results using global variables, pass the actual function call instead of the function name. Compare the following two input and output groups.
* Partial match of "diff" against topic "differentiation_rule".
For functions which accept different numbers of parameters, you can specify for which function call you want the differentiation rule by specifying the function with the appropriate number of arguments. For example, for Zeta, if given with only one argument specified, it represents the Hurwitz Zeta function and its differentiation rule is the following.
As another example, consider the exponential integral Ei.
