Abstract
The q- and h-differentials may be “symmetrized“ in the following way,
where as usual, q ≠ 1 and h ≠ 0. The definitions of the corresponding derivatives follow obviously:
We are going to concern ourselves briefly with symmetric q-calculus only, since it is important for the theory of some algebraic objects called quantum groups.
