The document discusses various notations for differentiation, including:
- Lagrange's notation of f'(x) and Leibniz's notation of df/dx for the derivative of a single-variable function f(x).
- Notations get more complex for functions of multiple variables, such as partial derivatives and Jacobian notation.
- While Leibniz notation is more commonly used, the document notes some cases where Lagrange notation may be preferable, such as when checking solutions to partial differential equations involving composite functions.
