    2. Victor Guillemin & Alan Pollack – Differential Topology: This book takes a more geometric and intuitive approach, emphasizing transversality, intersection theory, and differential topology …

  2. Why can we treat differential operators as if they behave like ...

    Jun 7, 2025 · Then one thinks of differential operators as a linear maps between such spaces. Often the space of all linear maps between two spaces is itself a vector space and so one can …

  3. How to derive a differential equation of an ellipse

    I am quite new to differential equations and derivatives. I want to derive an differential form for equation of an ellipse. If i start with an ordinary ellipse equation \\begin{equation} \\frac{x^2}...

  4. real analysis - Rigorous definition of "differential" - Mathematics ...

    Nov 3, 2016 · What bothers me is this definition is completely circular. I mean we are defining differential by differential itself. Can we define differential more precisely and rigorously? P.S. …

  5. Derivative of sigmoid function $\\sigma (x) = \\frac{1}{1+e^{-x}}$

    In my AI textbook there is this paragraph, without any explanation. The sigmoid function is defined as follows $$\\sigma (x) = \\frac{1}{1+e^{-x}}.$$ This function is easy to differentiate
