Description

We review several notebooks at functions.wolfram.com and show that closed form expressions for general derivatives of some functions can be written in a shorter form (as a single sum, for example.) This approach allows expressing the nth derivative of a function in finite terms of the same function. Algebraic properties of related polynomial differential operators will be also discussed.
