I am trying to construct a function to which I pass an expression as an
argument.
>From that expression I want to create a somewhat more complicated expression
and then differentiate it using D() or deriv().
To give a simple example, I'd like to be able to do something like
e1 <- expression(x^2 + y^2)
e2 <- some.magic(e1,"n")
or maybe e2 <- some.magic(e1,expression(n))
and get e2 being expression((x^2+y^2)^n). (Whence I can then do D(e2,"x") and
D(e2,"y").)
Is there any way to accomplish this?
Thanks.
cheers,
Rolf Turner
