# numpy.polynomial.hermite_e.hermeder

`numpy.polynomial.hermite_e.``hermeder`(c, m=1, scl=1, axis=0)

  Differentiate a Hermite_e series.

  Returns the series coefficients c differentiated m times along axis. At each iteration the result is multiplied by scl (the scaling factor is for use in a linear change of variable). The argument c is an array of coefficients from low to high degree along each axis, e.g., [1,2,3] represents the series `1*He_0 + 2*He_1 + 3*He_2` while [[1,2],[1,2]] represents `1*He_0(x)*He_0(y) + 1*He_1(x)*He_0(y) + 2*He_0(x)*He_1(y) + 2*He_1(x)*He_1(y)` if axis=0 is `x` and axis=1 is `y`.

  Parameters : | c: array_like : Array of Hermite_e series coefficients. If c is multidimensional the different axis correspond to different variables with the degree in each axis given by the corresponding index. m : int, optional Number of derivatives taken, must be non-negative. (Default: 1) scl : scalar, optional Each differentiation is multiplied by scl. The end result is multiplication by `scl**m`. This is for use in a linear change of variable. (Default: 1) axis : int, optional Axis over which the derivative is taken. (Default: 0). New in version 1.7.0.
  Returns : | der : ndarray Hermite series of the derivative.

  Notes

  In general, the result of differentiating a Hermite series does not resemble the same operation on a power series. Thus the result of this function may be “unintuitive,” albeit correct; see Examples section below.

  Examples

      >>> from numpy.polynomial.hermite_e import hermeder
      >>> hermeder([ 1.,  1.,  1.,  1.])
      array([ 1.,  2.,  3.])
      >>> hermeder([-0.25,  1.,  1./2.,  1./3.,  1./4 ], m=2)
      array([ 1.,  2.,  3.])
