Derivatives of functions are computed using differential calculus. A derivative in calculus is defined as “the rate of change of quantity y with respect to quantity x”. This sounds very similar to the ...

Is there a way to compute the gradient/derivatives of a vector grid function defined on a 2D surface embedded in 3D space? I am trying to compute principal stretches on a surface mesh from a given ...

In the Introduction to the Derivative video we introduce the notion of the derivative of a function and explain how the derivative captures the instantaneous rate of change of a function. In the ...
