A map is differentiable at when there is a linear map such thatThe linear map is the Frechet derivative of at .
The multivariable chain rule states that if is differentiable at and is differentiable at , thenIndeed, write and , where and . Since ,and the last two terms are . This proves the formula.
For matrix inversion near the identity matrix,The last term is because inversion is bounded near . Therefore the inversion map is differentiable at and

Inner-product preservation between programs for and givesfor all . If , this identity forces every matrix element of to be the same scalar multiple of the corresponding identity matrix element. Hence , contrary to physical distinctness. Therefore
