Derivative

Introduction Derivatives tend to be an intricate topic in accounting. So to begin, a very basic understanding of a derivative is that they are a binding contract between two or more parties.

The purpose for companies to implement derivatives are to aid them in managing risk by using a type of financial forwards, futures, options, or swaps. For example, a forward contract is when Company A believes Company B’s stock price

Derivative is a complex subject of calculus. In calculus, derivative is a key term developed by both Newton and Leibniz. With function f (t), the first derivative is defined asf^ ' (t)= df/dt= lim┬(h→0)⁡〖(f(t)-f(t-h))/h〗. There is also a second derivative known as second-order derivative. The second-order derivative is defined: f^ ' ' (t)= (d^2 f)/(dt^2 )= lim┬(h→0)⁡〖(f^ ' (t)-f^ ' (t-h))/h〗 =lim┬(h→0)⁡〖1/h {(f(t)-f(t-h))/h- (f(t-h)-f(t-2h))/h}〗 =lim┬(h→0)⁡〖(f(t)-2f(t-h)+f(t-2h))/h^2 〗 (Podlubny

1.4.3 Discontinuities in derivatives Another important class of discontinuities are those in the first derivatives of the approximation. These discontinuities occur at interfaces between materials and different 13 1.4. APPROXIMATION FOR DISCONTINUOUS FUNCTIONS [? ] phases of materials. Discontinuities in derivatives of solutions occur wherever the coefficients of the governing partial differential equation are discontinuous. These discontinuities can easily be handled by standard finite element approximations
