## README for derivative package v0.97 dated 2019-02-03

The package provides a set of commands `\NewOdvVariant`, `\NewPdvVariant` etc. that can be used to define a variant of a derivative. The package have already defined several derivatives:

• `\odv` Ordinary derivative
• `\pdv` Partial derivative
• `\fdv` Functional derivtive
• `\mdv` Material derivative
• `\adv` Average rate of change
• `\jdv` Jacobian

## derivative – Nice and easy derivatives

This package provides a set of commands \NewOdvVariant, \NewPdvVariant etc. that can be used to define derivatives. Each derivative comes with a great number of options that tweak the derivative’s format to your liking.

The following types of derivatives come readily defined:

• \odv Ordinary derivative,
• \pdv Partial derivative,
• \fdv Functional derivative,
• \mdv Material derivative,
• \adv Average rate of change,
• \jdv Jacobian.
