// This file contains transformation rules suitable for finding // derivatives of expressions. transformations derivatives { // This is a simple program that lets you define transformation rules // and mathematical simplification rules and test them easily. // Derivative of both sides of an equation. D[_a === _b, _x] <-> D[_a, _x] === D[_b, _x] // Derivative as inverse of integration. D[Integrate[_f, _x], _x] <-> _f // Multiple derivatives // Bail-out condition for first derivative D[_n, _x, 1] <-> D[_n, _x] // Otherwise take one derivative and decrement. D[_n, _x, _times is isInteger] <-> D[D[_n,_x], _x, _times-1] // Degenerate cases D[_c, _x] :: freeOf[_c, _x] <-> 0 D[_x, _x] <-> 1 // The following are shortcuts and aren't strictly needed, but they're // closer to what a human would do and make the transformation path simpler. // The constraints are necessary to prevent naive evaluation of, say, x^x. D[(_c:1) _x^(_y:1), _x] :: freeOf[_c, _x] && freeOf[_y, _x] <-> (_c _y) _x^(_y-1) //D[_a^_x, _x] <-> _a^_x ln[_a] D[sin[_x], _x] <-> cos[_x] D[cos[_x], _x] <-> -sin[_x] D[tan[_x], _x] <-> 1/cos[_x]^2 D[ln[_x], _x] <-> 1/_x D[e^_x, _x] <-> e^_x // Chained derivative rules D[_a + _b, _x] <-> D[_a,_x] + D[_b,_x] // These rules can loop if _u or _v equals _x. // Prevent that?
