The chain rule is an approach for differentiating a composition of functions in terms of those functions.

Notation
The common notation for the chain rule is, given a function h(x) = f(g(x)), the derivative h'(x) = f'(g(x)) g'(x).
An equivalent notations is that h = f ∘ g and h' = (f ∘ g)' = (f' ∘ g)g' .
A parallel notation is:
