DERIVATIVES
You better believe that to derive
Is to take in hand the things that survive
A root from the main tree
Is all that it can be
A measure of change that swan dives
NATURAL LOG AND E
Ellen and E are warring siblings
A number under the curve or the base of buildings
They never agree
To one do they see
When combined into fillings
OPTIMIZATION
To optimize is to bring about
The best of the best without a doubt
Though within it, there’s few
We’ll be sure to make do
Till the sun rises throughout
INTEGRATION
If you want to integrate, listen to me
Sum up the whole of the parts, so weird it must seem
But rather than expand
Just trace back the land
Find everything that leads to she
INT and DER
Int and Der are forbidden to see
Despite how much love ther is for thee
To spiral or sink
In love at the brink
No option is there to be
ISAAC NEWTON
They say the apple falls short of the tree
Though Newton seems to disagree
If it hits your head
The story’s all said
To be different in numbers and fleas
RATE OF CHANGE
Quantities keep changing from one to another
Divided by some value of the change in some other
The function will grow
And the input will show
The rate at which it recovers
