Hi,

and what does

Derivative[1, 0, 0][Norton][arg_, n_, k_] := dNdx[arg, n, k]
Norton[arg_, exp_?NumericQ, nenner_?NumericQ] := MCB[arg/nenner]^exp

??

Mathematica evaluates Norton[] before it compute the derivative
and so you must hinder Mathematica to evaluate Norton[] with pure
symbolic arguments.
