Product Rules:
1) A. ( B C) = B. (C A) = C. ( A B)
2) A ( B C) = B. ( A. C) C. ( A. B)
3) ( f g) = f (g) + g(f )
4) ( A. B) = A ( B) + B ( A) + ( A. )B + ( B. ) A
5) ( f A) = f (. A) + A. (f )
6) . ( A B) = B. ( A) A. ( B)
7) ( f A) = f ( A) A (f )
8) ( A B) = ( B. ) A ( A. )B + A(. B) B(. A)
9) ( A) = (. A) 2 A
