## Symbolic Operations

SymbolicDerivative

      SymbolicDerivative (f)

  Attempt to symbolically differentiate the function f, where f is a function of one variable.

  Examples:

      genius> SymbolicDerivative(sin)
      = (`(x)=cos(x))
      genius> SymbolicDerivative(`(x)=7*x^2)
      = (`(x)=(7*(2*x)))

  See Wikipedia for more information.

SymbolicDerivativeTry

      SymbolicDerivativeTry (f)

  Attempt to symbolically differentiate the function f, where f is a function of one variable, returns `null` if unsuccessful but is silent. (See `SymbolicDerivative`)

  See Wikipedia for more information.

SymbolicNthDerivative

      SymbolicNthDerivative (f,n)

  Attempt to symbolically differentiate a function n times. (See `SymbolicDerivative`)

  See Wikipedia for more information.

SymbolicNthDerivativeTry

      SymbolicNthDerivativeTry (f,n)

  Attempt to symbolically differentiate a function n times quietly and return `null` on failure (See `SymbolicNthDerivative`)

  See Wikipedia for more information.

SymbolicTaylorApproximationFunction

      SymbolicTaylorApproximationFunction (f,x0,n)

  Attempt to construct the Taylor approximation function around x0 to the nth degree. (See `SymbolicDerivative`)
