Jun 23, 2017 at 19:47 comment added Horváth Dávid How much precision is required? For example, is it acceptable for the second test case, if we print -0.999999999999999?

Jan 4, 2016 at 3:47 comment added user45941 @KSFT dx/dy = 7, so dy/dx = 1/7, and therefore dy/dt = (dy/dx)(dx/dt) = (1/7)(0) = 0.
Jan 4, 2016 at 1:54 answer added KSFT timeline score: 3
Jan 3, 2016 at 3:12 comment added KSFT I thought I understood the chain rule, but I don't understand the last test case. Can you explain how you get that answer?
Jan 3, 2016 at 2:46 comment added KSFT Is it okay to take the input surrounded with quotes (for Python 2)?
Dec 30, 2015 at 17:48 comment added quintopia @Ampora why so sad? The difference quotient is a ratio, and so are rates in general. There are very few situations where you wouldn't want to treat that as a ratio.

Dec 29, 2015 at 22:49 comment added Helge von Koch Can there be cycles ? if so, then in this example where ratios are represented by edges, is it valid? or dx/dz must be equal to dx/dy × dy/dz (thus, in any other example, any chain from dx to dz shall always give the same result)?

Dec 29, 2015 at 22:30 comment added Maltysen @Mar true, adding.
Dec 29, 2015 at 22:29 comment added Martin Ender @Maltysen that should be a test case then ;)
Dec 29, 2015 at 22:29 comment added Maltysen @MartinBüttner yes.
Dec 29, 2015 at 22:25 comment added Martin Ender Will there ever be any zero derivatives?
Dec 29, 2015 at 22:18 comment added Maltysen @MartinBüttner yes, but not builtin differential equation solvers.
Dec 29, 2015 at 21:39 comment added Arcturus I have a feeling answers will treat d_/d_ as a ratio and that makes me sad
Dec 29, 2015 at 21:26 comment added Martin Ender Can we use built-in equation solvers?

Dec 29, 2015 at 20:47 comment added Maltysen @GamrCorps the latter.
Dec 29, 2015 at 20:40 comment added GamrCorps Is the output "answer: dx/dt = .318" or just "dx/dt = .318"?
