>THE DERIVATIVE IS THE SLOPE OF THE CURVE AT ANY GIVEN POINT.
This doesn't generalize well.
>YOU GET IT BY BRINGING DOWN THE POWER AND SUBTRACTING 1 FROM THE POWER.
This only applies to a small class of functions.
>LIM AND DX AND ALL THESE SQUIGGLES DON'T MEAN SHIT, THEY ARE NEVER INCORPORATED MATHEMATICALLY IN ANY WAY.
They very much do have meaning, and you'd know that if you didn't write it off as.
>I DONT CARE. POINTLESS BULLSHIT.
Stay mad brainlet. There's absolutely no point to learning math the way you're suggesting, not understanding anything and just doing mindless symbol juggling since a computer can do that much better with perfect accuracy and far better speed.
