When I type in the following 2 lines:
D[f[x],x]*D[x[t],t];
%/.{x->Function[t,at]
I get back
a * f ' [Function[t, at ] ] but what I want to get back is a*f '
[t] or a*f ' [x]
I'm trying to do something with just functional notation and I want
certain derivatives to 'stay as is' once they are computed..I've looked at
Hold,etc. and dont know how to use them or even if they are the correct way
to go.
thanks....Jerry Blimbaum NSWC Panama City, Fl
