Is there an alternative way to simplify derivative/integral rules for products or does there exist a continuous product analog to an integral? These answers are in the realm of multiplicative calculus, specifically geometric calculus, a non-Newtonian treatment of the matter where products play nice instead of sums. There are many applications in fields where multiplicative thinking and analysis of growth/decay is prevalent like economics, finance, epidemiology, and probability/statistics.
