Description
|
|
|
•
|
The DirectionalDerivativeTutor command launches a tutor interface that computes, plots, and animates the directional derivative of a function.
|
|
|
If f(x,y), [x,y]=[a,b], and [c,d] are not specified, DirectionalDerivativeTutor uses defaults.
|
|
•
|
When the DirectionalDerivativeTutor is running, interaction with the worksheet is not possible.
