I’m going to be better (as a person).

By the way, the dy/dx notation is for derivatives.

I thought d/dx basically means slope

On a serious note- This is great! Learning new math is great because it helps you understand the world better. No one really dislikes math. They just don’t like learning it because they think it’s hard. It’s hard to dislike math as a whole.

It does. Think about it like this. How would you find the slope of a line that passes through a curve once? You can find the average rate of change of x + Δx(a really small number) - f(x) over x + Δx - x which is just x.

That does not describe me, not trying to brag but I actually love math and am great at it

The people one grade older in our combined class try to cheat off me

This is what I saw.

The limit is Δx approaching 0. This is because to find instantaneous rate of change, we take the limit of the average rate of change like this: lim x → 0 (f(x + Δx) - f(x))/x + Δx - x or lim x → 0 (f(x + Δx) - f(x))/Δx because x cancels out.

Big f? BIG F?!? BIG F?!?!?! DEFORMED S FOR “SUMMATORIUS” MAN! HOW DOES IT LOOK LIKE AN F?

Definitely not an F. It’s integral to understand that.

Nah bro:


Literally a big f (lowercase on purpose).
