Lecture 17

We follow Pugh 5.2.

  • A function $f: \R^n \to \R^m$ is differentiable at $p \in \R^n$ if $f$ can be approximable by a constant plus a linear term plus a remainder.
  • If approximation exists, then the differential is unique (and has a formula)
  • If the partial derivative exists, and is continuous, then the total derivative exists. (Proof: show the remainder is sublinear, by examine componentwise)
  • (key) total derivative satisfies all the nice properties.
  • A function is differentiable at a point $p$, iff all its components are differentiable.
  • Two mean value theorems: a crude one on length; a more precise one, using averaging.
  • Differentiation commute with integration.
