Derivative of the Quotient: Lost in Translation?
I posted a while ago about an alternate way to calculate the derivative of a quotient. Suppose G and H are functions of one or more variables. For F = G/H, the standard form of the first derivative is: F’ … Continue reading

Derivative of the Quotient
Given a function F = G/H, the first derivative is usually expressed as (HG’ – H’G)/(H^2) But this is equivalent to: (G’ – F H’)/H The second form seems to be easier to implement in some cases and requires less … Continue reading
