What is derivative in Python?

The derivative of a function is its instantaneous rate of change with respect to one of its variables. This is equivalent to finding the slope of the tangent line to the function at a point. we can find the differentiation of mathematical expressions in the form of variables by using diff() function in SymPy package.

How do you find the derivative of an equation in Python?

With the help of sympy. Derivative() method, we can create an unevaluated derivative of a SymPy expression. It has the same syntax as diff() method. To evaluate an unevaluated derivative, use the doit() method.

Can NumPy do derivatives?

Generally, NumPy does not provide any robust function to compute the derivatives of different polynomials. However, NumPy can compute the special cases of one-dimensional polynomials using the functions numpy. poly1d() and deriv().
