Re: C a l c u l u s

I may be wrong but...

dy/dx represents y per x.

If y = Miles and X = Hours, it'd be Miles per Hours.

D is probably just a random variable?


Boy let me tell you what:
I bet you didn't know it, but I'm a fiddle player too.
And if you'd care to take a dare, I'll make a bet with you.
