  1. first derivative

    The first derivative of a function is a measure of how the function changes with respect to changes in the input. In more technical terms, it is the limit of the average rate of change of the function over a small interval as the length of the interval approaches zero. This limit, if it exists, gives the slope of the tangent line to the function at any given point. The first derivative can be interpreted as the instantaneous rate of change or the velocity of a function at a particular point.
