Abstract
This paper has attempted to present an overview of certain aspects of functional sensitivity analysis with particular applications towards kinetics and quantum scattering theory. There is an important need at this point to perform practical numerical calculations in order to gain further insight in how to interpret and utilize the sensitivity densities. The generality of these sensitivity concepts and especially their ability to handle non-linear differential equations, implies that they should be a potentially valuable tool for treating a wide variety of problems besides those directly discussed in this paper.
