numpy.polynomial.polynomial.polyder(c, m=1, scl=1, axis=0)
[source]
Differentiate a polynomial.
Returns the polynomial coefficients c
differentiated m
times along axis
. At each iteration the result is multiplied by scl
(the scaling factor is for use in a linear change of variable). The argument c
is an array of coefficients from low to high degree along each axis, e.g., [1,2,3] represents the polynomial 1 + 2*x + 3*x**2
while [[1,2],[1,2]] represents 1 + 1*x + 2*y + 2*x*y
if axis=0 is x
and axis=1 is y
.
Parameters: |
c : array_like Array of polynomial coefficients. If c is multidimensional the different axis correspond to different variables with the degree in each axis given by the corresponding index. m : int, optional Number of derivatives taken, must be non-negative. (Default: 1) scl : scalar, optional Each differentiation is multiplied by axis : int, optional Axis over which the derivative is taken. (Default: 0). New in version 1.7.0. |

Returns: |
der : ndarray Polynomial coefficients of the derivative. |
