Nth derivatives?
Is there any way to take the nth derivative of a function (without making a function for each individual derivative). i.e.
f(x) = x^3
f_n(n, x) = \frac{d^n}{{dx}^n} ( f(x) )
f(0, x) = f(x) = x^3
f(1, x) = f^\prime(x) = 3x^2
f(2, x) = f^{\prime\prime}(x) = 6x
f(3, x) = f^{\prime\prime\prime}(x) = 6
This is not what I want to have to do, and also returns an error anyway e.apply is not a function
.
d_2f(x) = \mathrm{diff}(\mathrm{diff}(f, x), x)
This is arguably even worse, but its what I'm using right now.
df(x) = \mathrm{diff}(f, x)
d_2f(x) = \mathrm{diff}(df, x)
d_3f(x) = \mathrm{diff}(d_2f, x)
This would be very nice for doing the Associated Legendre polynomials $P^m_\ell(x)$ which contains $\frac{d^m}{{dx}^m}(P_\ell(x))$
