chain rule

In calculus, the chain rule is used to differentiate compositions of functions. It states that for any function f which is dependent on a variable u, and u is a function of a second variable x, then f is a function of x.

In Set Theory:

f(u)=u V u(x)=x V Vf(x)

In Calculus:

df/dx = du/dx(dx/du)

to differentiate (x+1)^2, one could multiply this out and apply the sum rule (derivative of a sum is the sum of the derivatives); but what if it were (x+1)^55? Suddenly the multipling out doesn't look so nice. To apply the chain rule, we must first define the functions. Let f(x)=(x+1)^55 and u=(x+1). Therefore f(x)=u^55. By the chain rule:
df/dx = df/du(du/dx)
df/dx = d/du(u^55)(du/dx)
df/dx = 55u(du/dx)
We earlier defined the variable "u" as (x+1). Now we substitute this in.
df/dx = 55(x+1)d/dx(x+1)
df/dx = 55x+55(1)
df/dx = 55x+55

Joba Rules

A set of guidelines enacted, usually self-imposed by a coach or manager, to protect a dominant player from being worn out through a long season. One example is one day's rest per each inning pitched.

The GM Cashman of the Yankees perhaps enacted the Joba Rules to prevent manager Joe Torre from wearing out relief pitchers, especially rookie Joba Chamberlain.
