Jacobian Calculator

Given m differentiable, real-valued functions of (x1,x2,,xn): f1(x1,x2,,xn)f2(x1,x2,,xn)fm(x1,x2,,xn) and given n real numbers a1,a2,,an, this application calculates at xi=ai, where i=1,,n, the m function values of f1,f2,,fm and the m×n Jacobian matrix: [f1x1f1x2f1xnf2x1f2x2f2xnfmx1fmx2fmxn] Note that some literature or wiki Jacobian defines the Jacobian as the transpose of the matrix given above. We use only this form in all calculators that require Jacobian calculation. In the special case m=1 the Jacobian is reduced to the gradient of f and, furthermore, if n=1 it is just the derivative of f with respect to x or dfdx.

Input Data

The calculator required from users two inputs: f1(x1,x2,,xn),,fm(x1,x2,,xn) and a1,a2,,an. Both inputs are the same format as described in Gradient Calculator. The functions f1,,fm must be entered one function per line.
