composite
(noun)
a function of a function
Examples of composite in the following topics:
-
The Chain Rule
- The chain rule is a formula for computing the derivative of the composition of two or more functions.
- The chain rule is a formula for computing the derivative of the composition of two or more functions.
- That is, if $f$ is a function and $g$ is a function, then the chain rule expresses the derivative of the composite function $f \circ g$ in terms of the derivatives of $f$ and $g$.
- Calculate the derivative of a composition of functions using the chain rule
-
Numerical Integration
- This is called a composite rule, extended rule, or iterated rule.
- For example, the composite trapezoidal rule can be stated as

The Chain Rule
- The chain rule is a formula for computing the derivative of the composition of two or more functions.
- That is, if $f$ is a function and $g$ is a function, then the chain rule expresses the derivative of the composite function $f \circ g (x) ≡ f [g (x)]$ in terms of the derivatives of $f$ and $g$.

Fundamental Theorem for Line Integrals
- If $\varphi$ is a differentiable function from some open subset $U$ (of $R^n$) to $R$, and if $r$ is a differentiable function from some closed interval $[a,b]$ to $U$, then by the multivariate chain rule, the composite function $\circ r$ is differentiable on $(a,b)$ and $\frac{d}{dt}(\varphi \circ \mathbf{r})(t)=\nabla \varphi(\mathbf{r}(t)) \cdot \mathbf{r}'(t)$ for for all $t$ in $(a,b)$.
