Help with 2nd derivative in physics problem please.
I am trying to follow a derivation and am stuck with this step. If p=r/a, then du/dr = (1/a).du/dp (which i think I'm OK with) and d2u/dr2 = (1/a)^2.d2u/dp2 (which I'm not) (2's are powers here of course) I'm not sure if it is relevant but earlier on in the text a substiitutuion is used u = r.psi(r) where psi is a function of r Thanks Zinc -- To reply to address don't click.
