Derivative of fuck 

What generally spews of the mouth of a calculus student when they have no fucking clue what all the squiggly lines mean and don't happen to be Asian.

"Do you need help"
"yes, what is the derivative of fuck"

Derivative 

Note: This definition of derivative is alternate to the mathematical type of derivative.

Along the lines of an integral but much more common. To take a derivative, take something that does something and do what it does back to that same thing. For clarity see examples.

A: I just took a derivative by cutting a knife.
B: Well I just took a derivative by taking a picture of a camera.
C(Math Major): What the hell are you two talking about?

Not original, over-used.

Donatello from Ninja Turtles, "Too derivative"

Yo, that old navy shirt is too derivative. It's one solid color with a horizontal line of another color.

Oral derivative 

When one receives fellatio while completing a derivative of the first degree or higher.

My math teacher gave me the best oral derivative for this problem.

viral derivative 

something that is not necessarily popular originally yet rapidly gains popularity due to the fact of being referenced to something else that is already popular

A Star Wars version of Gangam Style being a viral derivative received an enormous 2M+ views within a week, immediately after the original Gangam Style video hit the world record of YouTube views and likes.

derivative 

1. In calculus, the slope of a function at a point. It is found by taking the limit of (f(x + h) - f(x)) / ((x + h) - x) where h (also seen as delta x) approaches 0.

Notations for a derivative include dy/dx and f'(x) (f prime of x)

2. The mathematical incarnation of Satan Himself

1.
f(x) = 3x^3 - 4x^2 + 2x -6 //function
f'(x) = 9x^2 - 8x + 2 //first derivative
f''(x) = 18x - 8 //second derivative
f'''(x) = 18 //third derivative

2. Teacher: Today, we're going to do derivatives

Math teacher: Change of plans! We're going to rock out to Zeppelin and have a LAN party on the school's sweet new laptops for the next hour!
Students: Hooray!

third derivative 

a calculus term also called "the jerk"; it is a nerdy way to tell someone off.

person one: "you smell like feet."

person two: "Golly, person one, you can be such a third derivative."
