[edit] Notation consistancy
Am I confused, or does this article change notation between the introduction and the proof? Is D/Dt the same operator as d/dt? Tom Duff 19:19, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
- Yes I have fixed it. d/dt is used in many texts but I think D/Dt makes it clear that we are discussing a property in a vector field. Rex the first talk | contribs 01:00, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Two of a kind
Looks to me like this article ought to be rolled in with substantive derivative. Linuxlad 14:19, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Identity
The identity given for taking the material derivative of an integral is the Reynolds Transport Theorem, though written in a form that is dissimilar to the one listed in the article concerning that theorem. This is also a varient of the Liebnitz Rule.
[edit] Parentheses
Is there any special reason for the parentheses used on the RHS in the definitions? —DIV (128.250.204.118 09:04, 6 April 2007 (UTC))
