Eh? It's Saturday night man! I've got a pint of ale in hand here...
Alright. I understand change, rate of change, and differences in rate of change...but as applied to what? Derivation? Maybe I don't understand after all. I did at one point, when I earned my BSc. Years of rock and roll have eroded that knowledge, sadly.

my specialty is figuring out how to make it work when neither party has the correct amounts to make change and you have to pay extra so as to return an amount that will make it all wash. i am usually ahead of the cash register. tom w

I've been on two Math search committees. The candidates had to explain, What is a limit?. That's two full days, 15 candidates lecturing on that topic.
It's amazing how many mathematicians can't explain rate of change.

I can just about do Algebra. Such a drag why learn such a useless subject in school.
Warren Buffett doesn't put much stock in it. Some professions need it but mine certainly does not.

Algebra II is as far as I will find math to be useful
I had a terrible time with Pre-Calculus. That's as far as I got in high school. I never found rate of change to be very hard of a concept though..

What the hell is rate of change?When I was 16 and dropped out of school I could measure and grind crank journals,C&C cylinders and calculate projected horsepower ratings,semi-size bottom end bearings and fit valve guides for engine rebuildings,also how to buy cheap and sell dear,so what is this rate of change and why would it affect me?
