The goal of this course is to develop the theory of pointwise differentiation in the simplest case of real valued functions defined on Euclidean space. A function is k times pointwise differentiable at a point if and only if it may be approximated by a polynomial function of degree at most k to k-th order at that point; in particular, derivatives of order k − 1 need not exist in a neighbourhood of the point. Such derivatives for instance occur in the study of Sobolev functions, convex functions (k = 2), and viscosity solutions to fully nonlinear elliptic equations of second order (k = 2). Our motivation however is mainly from geometry: the theory presented acts both as a model case and a toolbox for recent characterisations of rectifiability of order k which essentially is the weakest possible sense in which a set (or, a function) may be considered to have k-th order differentials almost everywhere. Some knowledge of linear algebra, first order differentials, measure, and Lebesgue integration is prerequisite for this course, but the treatment is selfcontained with regard to all those topics in descriptive set theory, multilinear algebra, and higher order differentiation, that occur. A particular feature of our approach is the development of the concept of symmetric algebra of a vectorspace to effectively treat polynomial functions. The topics covered are as follows.
