Math::Calculus::Differentiate version 0.2 ========================================= Math::Calculus::Differentiate takes an algebraic expression (e.g. in the form x^2 + 5*x + sin(x)), differentiates it and returns the derivative in the same format (e.g. 2*x + 5 + cos(x)). In understands the operators +, -, *, / and ^ (raising to a power) as well as the functions sin, cos, tan, sec, cosec, cot, sinh, cosh, tanh, sech, cosech, coth, ln and exp. Functions are valid either side of all operators - that is, you can differentiate a function raised to the power of another function. Partial differentiation is supported to the extent that you can differentiate with respect to a single variable.
