eiderivativity
Eiderivativity is a concept in abstract algebra that generalizes the notion of a derivative from calculus. In traditional calculus, the derivative of a function measures the rate at which its value changes. Eiderivativity extends this idea to more abstract algebraic structures, such as rings and modules.
At its core, an eiderivative is a function that takes an element of an algebraic structure and
The structure on which an eiderivative is defined can vary. For instance, in a commutative ring, the
