As the number of different people responding to this discussion has been small I have put together the following simple 2 question survey about expectations/preferences for differentiation of equations to try to broaden the input. This is a simple google form. It collects google addresses only to avoid multiple responses from the same google account. I expect it to take people about 1 minute. The link is: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd-VCuOuNQtEo8VAuDA42SgNPYhMhr4Z5nEsGdwYoG9SCI5Nw/viewform?usp=sf_link.

I am sorry to be awkward, but I found this tricky to explain on the one line provided for 'Other'.

The definition of an equation seems so important (and remarkably tricky!), would it be better to implement something that seems reasonable and put it out as experimental code?

Another possibility might be to simply fault any attempt to take the derivative of an equation (and no doubt some other awkward operations) until people had had time to experiment with equations for a bit.

For example, if I chose option 5, I'd want to figure out how easy it would be to set all the unwanted derivatives to zero, or stop them appearing.
