How it works

The derive command walks through mathematical derivations step by step.

How it works:

1. Enter a formula, theorem, or mathematical concept
2. The AI provides a rigorous step-by-step derivation
3. Each step includes assumptions, justifications, and LaTeX-formatted math

Parameters:

• concept (required): The formula or concept to derive

What you'll see:

• Starting assumptions and prerequisites
• Each derivation step with clear justification
• LaTeX-formatted mathematical expressions
• Final result with interpretation

Tips:

• Use for understanding "where formulas come from"
• Follow up with /intuition for the conceptual meaning behind the math
• Pair with /explain for non-mathematical context
