- derivatives are formally defined with limits
- // e is chosen (to be understood better)
-
- Aaaaaaaaah.

- x³
- D(x²) = 2xdx + dx² (ignored)
(xdx is the area of the small rectangle, 2 coz two rectangles)
df = 2xdx
df/dx = 2x - Oh fuck. He just derived D(t³) = 3t²
- Instead of two points
- It is equal to the slope of the line tangent to the graph at a *single* point.
- In pure math, the derivation is not this ratio d(s)/d(t) (t) for a specific choice of dt (=0.001). Instead, it's whatever that ratio approaches, as your choice for dt approaches 0.
- Ese. The difference of distance traveled at time t [s(t)] and a small time dt [s(t+dt)] by change in time d(t).
- How does velocity depend on a distance vs time function.
- "Maths has a tendency to reward you when you respect its symmetry."
