What is Differential operator?
In [[mathematics]] (particularly in [[differential calculus]]), a '''differential operator''' is an [[operator]] that takes a [[function (mathematics)|function]] as input, and returns a function as a result. Differential operators will [[Differential calculus|differentiate]] the function in one or more [[variable|variables]]. Probably the best known differential operator is differentiation itself, which is commonly written using <math>	frac{d}{dx}</math> (in Leibniz's notation) and <math>D</math> (in [[Leonhard Euler|Euler's notation]]).<ref>{{Cite web|date=2020-05-11|title=List of Calculus and Analysis Symbols|url=https://mathvault.ca/hub/higher-math/math-symbols/calculus-analysis-symbols/|access-date=2020-09-15|website=Math Vault|language=en-US}}</ref> == Related pages == * [[Divergence]] * [[Laplace operator]] == References == <references /> [[Category:Mathematics]] {{math-stub}}
