  Product rule
The product rule, of calculus, governs the differentiation of products of differentiable functions.
One special case of the product rule is the Constant Multiple Rule which states: if c is a real number and f(x) is a differentiable function, then cf(x) is also differentiable and it derivative equals c multiplied by the derivative of f(x).
The product rule can be used to derive the rule for integration by parts and the quotient rule.

 Product rule - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, the product rule of calculus, also called Leibniz's law (see derivation), governs the differentiation of products of differentiable functions.
and this is indeed the differential form of the product rule.
One special case of the product rule is the Constant Multiple Rule which states: if c is a real number and f(x) is a differentiable function, then cf(x) is also differentiable, and its derivative is (c × f)'(x) = c × f '(x).

 Visual Rule Studio - White Papers
Production rule systems are most appropriate when the knowledge to be represented naturally occurs in rule form, where the relationships between rules are extremely complex, and where frequent changes in the business knowledge are anticipated.
The key to production rule systems’ success in modeling and processing business knowledge is in their ability to represent knowledge explicitly in chunks (i.e., rules) that are just the right size for capturing the small units or steps business analysts naturally use when solving complex problems.
Rules that are activated by the IF part are said to be data driven or forward chaining rules and rules that are activated by the THEN part are said to be goal-driven or backward chaining rules.

 Litigation Professional Information Center: Discovery Rule Governs Product Claim Against Device Maker, California Court ...
Saying the limitations period on the product liability claim was independent of the limitations period on the woman's related medical malpractice claim, the court rejected its earlier "bright line rule of imputed simultaneous discovery of causes of action."
In Fox's case, the appeals court said the delayed discovery of her product liability claim should be analyzed based on the facts and circumstances relevant to that claim.
"It is therefore consistent with our prior applications of the discovery rule to delay accrual of a product liability cause of action even when a related medical malpractice claim has already accrued, unless the plaintiff has reason to suspect that his or her injury resulted from a defective product," the court said.

 World Web Math: The Product Rule   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
A good way to remember the product rule for differentiation is ``the first times the derivative of the second plus the second times the derivative of the first.'' It may seem non-intuitive now, but just see, and in a few days you'll be repeating it to yourself, too.
This argument cannot constitute a rigourous proof, as it uses the differentials algebraically; rather, this is a geometric indication of why the product rule has the form it does.
We can use the product rule to confirm the fact that the derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.

 Final Rule: S7-13-98
The Commission must approve a proposed rule change if it finds that the rule change is consistent with the requirements of the Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder, applicable to the SRO proposing the rule change.
Commenters suggest that amendments to existing derivative securities products, or amendments to new derivative securities products that are listed pursuant to the amendment to Rule 19b-4, such as splitting an index or changing the exercise style, should not require a proposed rule change pursuant to Section 19b(2) of the Act.
Rule 19b-4(e) requires every self-regulatory organization (SRO) seeking to rely on Rule 19b-4(e) to file Form 19b-4(e) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) at least 5 business days after commencement of trading a new derivative securities product that is not deemed to be a proposed rule change.

 World Web Math: The Quotient Rule   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Now that we've seen how the derivative of a product is found, we can extend the method to quotients.
In fact, after the direct approach, we'll show how the quotient rule may be obtained from the product rule with only a little sleight of hand.
So, the quotient rule for differentiation is ``the derivative of the first times the second minus the first times the derivative of the second over the second squared.'' Quite a mouthful but still useful.
