Talk:Derivation (abstract algebra)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm not sure, but shouldn't this article be merged into Derivative? Jon Harald Søby \ ^{no na} 07:05, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

No - it is too abstract and the concept is important enough in its own right. Charles Matthews 09:58, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

A graded (anti-)derivation is a sum of of homogenous derivations, cf. for example, Bourbaki, Algebra, Book 3, or J. Braconnier, Eléments d'algèbre différentielle graduée, Dept. Math., Univ. Lyon 1, 1982, ISBN 0076-1656. AlainD 11:18, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Jessica writes On the other hand, I think derivation should be concatenated with differential algebra. I'm going to make the change, although I am open to discussion with anyone who wants to change it back. Shellgirl 15:19, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
