Repeated differentiation is supported by the syntax given in the examples below.
ALIAS: diff
EXAMPLES: We differentiate a callable symbolic function::
sage: f(x,y) = x*y + sin(x^2) + e^(-x) sage: f (x, y) |--> x*y + e^(-x) + sin(x^2) sage: derivative(f, x) (x, y) |--> 2*x*cos(x^2) + y - e^(-x) sage: derivative(f, y) (x, y) |--> x
We differentiate a polynomial::
sage: t = polygen(QQ, 't') sage: f = (1-t)^5; f -t^5 + 5*t^4 - 10*t^3 + 10*t^2 - 5*t + 1 sage: derivative(f) -5*t^4 + 20*t^3 - 30*t^2 + 20*t - 5 sage: derivative(f, t) -5*t^4 + 20*t^3 - 30*t^2 + 20*t - 5 sage: derivative(f, t, t) -20*t^3 + 60*t^2 - 60*t + 20 sage: derivative(f, t, 2) -20*t^3 + 60*t^2 - 60*t + 20 sage: derivative(f, 2) -20*t^3 + 60*t^2 - 60*t + 20
We differentiate a symbolic expression::
sage: var('a x') (a, x) sage: f = exp(sin(a - x^2))/x sage: derivative(f, x) -2*cos(-x^2 + a)*e^(sin(-x^2 + a)) - e^(sin(-x^2 + a))/x^2 sage: derivative(f, a) cos(-x^2 + a)*e^(sin(-x^2 + a))/x

def integral(f, *args, **kwds): r""" The integral of `f`.
EXAMPLES::
sage: integral(sin(x), x) -cos(x) sage: integral(sin(x)^2, x, pi, 123*pi/2) 121/4*pi sage: integral( sin(x), x, 0, pi) 2
We integrate a symbolic function::
sage: f(x,y,z) = x*y/z + sin(z) sage: integral(f, z) (x, y, z) |--> x*y*log(z) - cos(z)

::
sage: integral( exp(-x^2), x ) 1/2*sqrt(pi)*erf(x)
We define the Gaussian, plot and integrate it numerically and symbolically::
sage: f(x) = 1/(sqrt(2*pi)) * e^(-x^2/2) sage: P = plot(f, -4, 4, hue=0.8, thickness=2) sage: P.show(ymin=0, ymax=0.4) sage: numerical_integral(f, -4, 4) # random output (0.99993665751633376, 1.1101527003413533e-14) sage: integrate(f, x) x |--> 1/2*erf(1/2*sqrt(2)*x)
You can have Sage calculate multiple integrals. For example, consider the function `exp(y^2)` on the region between the lines `x=y`, `x=1`, and `y=0`. We find the value of the integral on this region using the command::
sage: area = integral(integral(exp(y^2),x,0,y),y,0,1); area 1/2*e - 1/2 sage: float(area) 0.859140914229522...
We compute the line integral of `\sin(x)` along the arc of the curve `x=y^4` from `(1,-1)` to `(1,1)`::
sage: t = var('t') sage: (x,y) = (t^4,t) sage: (dx,dy) = (diff(x,t), diff(y,t)) sage: integral(sin(x)*dx, t,-1, 1) 0 sage: restore('x,y') # restore the symbolic variables x and y
Sage is unable to do anything with the following integral::
sage: integral( exp(-x^2)*log(x), x ) integrate(e^(-x^2)*log(x), x)
Note, however, that::
sage: integral( exp(-x^2)*ln(x), x, 0, oo) -1/4*sqrt(pi)*(euler_gamma + 2*log(2))
This definite integral is easy::
sage: integral( ln(x)/x, x, 1, 2) 1/2*log(2)^2
Sage can't do this elliptic integral (yet)::
sage: integral(1/sqrt(2*t^4 - 3*t^2 - 2), t, 2, 3) integrate(1/sqrt(2*t^4 - 3*t^2 - 2), t, 2, 3)
A double integral::
sage: y = var('y') sage: integral(integral(x*y^2, x, 0, y), y, -2, 2) 32/5
This illustrates using assumptions::
sage: integral(abs(x), x, 0, 5) 25/2 sage: a = var("a") sage: integral(abs(x), x, 0, a) 1/2*a*abs(a) sage: integral(abs(x)*x, x, 0, a) Traceback (most recent call last): ...

def limit(f, dir=None, taylor=False, **argv): r""" Return the limit as the variable `v` approaches `a` from the given direction.
::
limit(expr, x = a) limit(expr, x = a, dir='above')
INPUT:
- ``dir`` - (default: None); dir may have the value 'plus' (or 'above') for a limit from above, 'minus' (or 'below') for a limit from below, or may be omitted (implying a two-sided limit is to be computed).
- ``taylor`` - (default: False); if True, use Taylor series, which allows more limits to be computed (but may also crash in some obscure cases due to bugs in Maxima).
- ``\*\*argv`` - 1 named parameter
ALIAS: You can also use lim instead of limit.
EXAMPLES::
sage: limit(sin(x)/x, x=0) 1 sage: limit(exp(x), x=oo) +Infinity sage: lim(exp(x), x=-oo) 0 sage: lim(1/x, x=0) Infinity sage: limit(sqrt(x^2+x+1)+x, taylor=True, x=-oo) -1/2 sage: limit((tan(sin(x)) - sin(tan(x)))/x^7, taylor=True, x=0) 1/30
Sage does not know how to do this limit (which is 0), so it returns it unevaluated::
sage: lim(exp(x^2)*(1-erf(x)), x=infinity) -limit((erf(x) - 1)*e^(x^2), x, +Infinity) """ if not isinstance(f, Expression): f = SR(f) return f.limit(dir=dir, taylor=taylor, **argv)

def taylor(f, *args): """ Expands self in a truncated Taylor or Laurent series in the variable `v` around the point `a`, containing terms through `(x - a)^n`. Functions in more variables are also supported.

- ``*args`` - the following notation is supported
- ``x, a, n`` - variable, point, degree
- ``(x, a), (y, b), ..., n`` - variables with points, degree of polynomial

def expand(x, *args, **kwds): """ EXAMPLES::
sage: a = (x-1)*(x^2 - 1); a (x^2 - 1)*(x - 1) sage: expand(a) x^3 - x^2 - x + 1
You can also use expand on polynomial, integer, and other factorizations::
sage: x = polygen(ZZ) sage: F = factor(x^12 - 1); F (x - 1) * (x + 1) * (x^2 - x + 1) * (x^2 + 1) * (x^2 + x + 1) * (x^4 - x^2 + 1) sage: expand(F) x^12 - 1 sage: F.expand() x^12 - 1 sage: F = factor(2007); F 3^2 * 223 sage: expand(F) 2007
Note: If you want to compute the expanded form of a polynomial arithmetic operation quickly and the coefficients of the polynomial all lie in some ring, e.g., the integers, it is vastly faster to create a polynomial ring and do the arithmetic there.
