WHAT DOES DERIVATIVE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Derivative

The derivative of a function of a real variable measures the sensitivity to change of a quantity which is determined by another quantity. It is a fundamental tool of calculus. For example, the derivative of the position of a moving object with respect to time is the object's velocity: this measures how quickly the position of the object changes when time is advanced. The derivative measures the instantaneous rate of change of the function, as distinct from its average rate of change, and is defined as the limit of the average rate of change in the function as the length of the interval on which the average is computed tends to zero. The derivative of a function at a chosen input value describes the best linear approximation of the function near that input value. In fact, the derivative at a point of a function of a single variable is the slope of the tangent line to the graph of the function at that point. The notion of derivative may be generalized to functions of several real variables. The generalized derivative is a linear map called the differential.

Definition of derivative in the English dictionary

The first definition of derivative in the dictionary is resulting from derivation; derived. Other definition of derivative is based on or making use of other sources; not original or primary. Derivative is also copied from others, esp slavishly; plagiaristic.
