Derivatives are also useful in [[physics]], under the "rate of change" concept. For example, [[acceleration]] is the derivative of [[velocity]] with respect to time, and velocity is the derivative of [[distance]] with respect to time.
Derivatives are also useful in [[physics]], under the "rate of change" concept. For example, [[acceleration]] is the derivative of [[velocity]] with respect to time, and velocity is the derivative of [[distance]] with respect to time.
Another important application of derivatives is in the Taylor series of a function, a way of writing certain functions like <math>e^x</math> as a power series.
