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.
