Let be an open subset. State what it means for a function to be differentiable at a point , and define its derivative .
State and prove the chain rule for the derivative of , where is a differentiable function.
Let be the vector space of real-valued matrices, and the open subset consisting of all invertible ones. Let be given by .
(a) Show that is differentiable at the identity matrix, and calculate its derivative.
(b) For , let be given by and . Show that on . Hence or otherwise, show that is differentiable at any point of , and calculate for .
