Matrix Differentiation( and some other stuff )Randal J. BarnesDepartment of Civil Engineering, University of MinnesotaMinneapolis, Minnesota, USA1 IntroductionThroughout this presentation I have chosen to use asymbolic Matrix notation. This choicewas not made lightly. I am a strong advocate of index notation, when appropriate. Forexample, index notation greatly simplifies the presentation and manipulation of differentialgeometry. As a rule-of-thumb, if your work is going to primarily involve differentiationwith respect to the spatial coordinates, then index notation is almost surely the the present case, however, I will be manipulating large systems of equations in whichthe Matrix calculus is relatively simply while the Matrix algebra and Matrix arithmetic ismessy and more involved. Thus, I have chosen to use symbolic Notation and NomenclatureDefinition 1 Letaij R,i=1, 2.
