Fractional change is change over initial value ============================================== Fractional change of a quantity is defined as ratio of the linear change of the quantity to the initial value of the quantity. .. py:currentmodule:: symplyphysics.laws.quantities.fractional_change_is_change_over_initial_value .. py:data:: fractional_change :attr:`~symplyphysics.symbols.basic.fractional_change` of quantity :math:`X`.
