The single apostrophe represents differentiating function f once. Let's look at some examples to see how our derivative formula works. Find gradient of function f(x)=3x+2. \begin{equation} \begin{aligned} f'(x)&=\lim_{\Delta x\to 0}\left(\frac{[3(x+\Delta x)+2]-[3x+2]}{\...
Calculus typically deals with functions of a single variable, such as finding derivatives and integrals of functions like f(x) or g(t). On the other hand, multivariable calculus deals with functions that depend on multiple variables, such as h(x, y) or k(x, y, z). 2. Vectors and ...

We have, so far, met functions of single and multiple variables (so called, univariate and multivariate functions, respectively). We shall now extend both to their composite forms. We will, eventually, see how to apply the chain rule in order to find their derivative, but more on this sho...
This third volume discusses various versions of the chain rule for functions of several variables, showing that while not as useful as using the chain rule for functions of a single variable they can be interpreted in ways that lead to useful general results.Geveci, Tunc...
arbitrary Lagrangians involving m independent and n dependent variables, together with the first derivatives of the latter, This approach contains as a special case the theory of Haar [4], in which the Lagrangian may depend solely on the derivatives of a single dependent function of two ...
When both of those limits exist and agree with each other, then we say there’s a limit. With multivariable calculus, this is a lot more challenging, because discontinuities don’t happen on a single line graph: they happen to 3D objects, which you can approach from multiple sides. ...
'Vector Calculus: This is a text on elementary multivariable calculus, designed for students who have completed courses in single-variable calculus. The traditional topics are covered: basic vector algebra; lines, planes and surfaces; vector-valued functions; functions of 2 or 3 variables; partial ...
In single-variable calculus, an improper integral arises when attempting to integrate a function on an unbounded region, or attempting to integrate a function on an interval where that function is discontinuous. We briefly recall both types of improper integrals below....
