5. (calculus) One of the two fundamental objects of study in calculus (the other being integration), which quantifies the rate of change, tangency, and other qualities arising from the local behavior of a function.
6. (of a function of a single variable f(x)) The derived function of ${\displaystyle f(x)}$: the function giving the instantaneous rate of change of ${\displaystyle f}$; equivalently, the function giving the slope of the line tangent to the graph of ${\displaystyle f}$. Written ${\displaystyle f'(x)}$ or ${\displaystyle {\frac {df}{dx}}}$ in Leibniz's notation, ${\displaystyle {\dot {f}}(x)}$ in Newton's notation (the latter used particularly when the independent variable is time).
7. The value of such a derived function for a given value of its independent variable: the rate of change of a function at a point in its domain.
8. (of more general classes of functions) Any of several related generalizations of the derivative: the directional derivative, partial derivative, Fréchet derivative, functional derivative, etc.
9. (generally) The linear operator that maps functions to their derived functions, usually written ${\displaystyle D}$; the simplest differential operator.
