\ racddxf(g(x))=f(g(x))g(x)\ rac{d}{dx}f(g(x)) = f'(g(x)) \cdot g'(x)
ddx[sin(x2)]=cos(x2)2x\frac{d}{dx}[\sin(x^2)] = \cos(x^2) \cdot 2x

Chain rule: derivative of a composite function = outer derivative × inner derivative. "Differentiate the outside, keep the inside, multiply by the derivative of the inside."
