What a derivative is

The derivative is the instantaneous rate of change — slope of the tangent. Power, product, quotient and chain rules are applied by the algebra engine. Orders 1–4 are available.

Evaluate at a number to get a slope (or a higher derivative) as a scalar. The plot overlays f (solid) and the first derivative (dashed).

FAQ

Higher than 4th order?

This UI stops at 4. Differentiate the result again by pasting it.

Partial derivatives?

Set the variable field. Mixed partials are not a separate mode.
