In Calculus & Functions:
One of the two
fundamental
objects
of study in
calculus
(the other being
integration
), which
quantifies
the rate of change,
tangency
, and other
qualities
arising
from the local
behavior
of a function.
(Of a
f
unction of a
single
variable
f
(x)) The
derived function
of
f
(x): the
f
unction
giving
the
instantaneous
rate of change of
f
;
equivalently
, the
f
unction
giving
the
slope
of the
line
tangent
to the
graph
of
f
. Written
f
'(x) or (df)/(dx) in Leibniz's
notation
, ̇f(x) in Newton's
notation
(the latter used
particularly
when the
independent variable
is time).
