Hi Maxim, I get the following error message evaluating your expression with my system setup as listed below: > D[f[g[z]], z, Direction -> z0] == > g'[z]*D[f[w], w, Direction -> z0*g'[z]] /. w -> g[z] and Direction is highlighted in red. D::optx: Unknown option Direction in D[f[g[z]],z,Direction->z0]. >> D::optx: Unknown option Direction in D[f[w],w,Direction->z0 (g^\ [Prime])[z]]. >> D::optx: Unknown option Direction in D[f[g[z]],g[z],Direction->z0 (g^\ [Prime])[z]]. >> General::stop: Further output of D::optx will be suppressed during this calculation. >> In my documentation Direction is listed as an option for Limit[] Are you running a developer version?
