i wish you were a derivative

The funniest pick up line ever made. It works really well, as I've used it on several occasions. The most notable of which was when i got with this really hot chick named Steve.
I wish you were a derivative so I could lie tangent to your curves.

Derivative

An insipid part of Calculus that most definitely should NOT be looked at during the summer. INTEGRAL to achieving a 5 on the AP Calculus 1 exam, this term is most commonly used by nerds of the highest degree. Beware.
I damn near had an orgasm once I found the derivative of the equation. Heaven on Earth!

Derivative

1. The equation of the slope of a line, found by taking the limit as "h" approches 0 of the quantity "f(x + h) - f(x)" devided by "h." It was developed simultaniously by two european guys with funny names.

2. One of the few torture devices still in common use in "civilization."
1. If "f(x)" = "y" = "x^2 + 5x + 3" then it's derivative, "f'(x)" or "dy/dx" is "2x + 5"

2. Fuck my math teacher, if he gives us any more calculus homework I am going to diferentiate my foot up his ass!

derivative

equity derivative

(FINANCE) a financial derivative whose underlying asset is a stock. The simplest kinds include the equity swap and the option.

As opposed to currency derivatives, interest rate derivatives, commodity derivatives, and so on. An equity swap typically involves an "equity side" of the transaction AND something else, like interest rates or oil prices.

Equity derivatives can be written on indices (e.g., the S&P 500, the FTSE-100, NASDAQ) as well as on stocks. In fact, they are often bought "out of the money" by mutual fund managers as insurance against a catastrophic decline in the fund value.
One other reason that poison pills are back in favor is the growth of synthetic equity derivative swap transactions, where a “short party” agrees to pay a “long party” the cash flows from a particular amount of a target company’s stock. In exchange, the long party agrees to pay a fee and to cover any decrease in the market value of the stock ... Through such transactions, a long party can suddenly become a significant stockholder of a target company without warning.
