Class Notes

Let $V$ and $W$ be two normed finite dimensional vector spaces and let $f:V\rightarrow W$ be a function defined on a neighborhood of the point $x$

Def: We say that $f$ is differentiable (diffable) if there is a linear map $L$ so that $\lim _{h\rightarrow 0}{\frac {|f(x+h)-f(x)-L(h)|}{|h|}}$
