Differentiation

You can differentiate

a symbolic expression either one step

at

a time,

so you can see the substitutions—or completely in one step, so you can

go right

to

the

final

result. If your expression

contains

only analytic

functions (those labeled wdth “A” in appendix G), you get an explicit

derivative.
