In calculus, Leibniz's rule for differentiation under the integral sign, named after Gottfried Leibniz, states that for an integral of the form:
then for the derivative of this integral is expressible as
where the partial derivative indicates that inside the integral, only the variation of f(•,t) with t is considered in taking the derivative. Notice that if and are constants rather than functions of , we have a special case of Leibniz's rule:
