I didn't think about it as a dervative until Slime pointed out the use of L'Hopital's rule. As wrayal said, all derivatives are derived from the function [code]F'(x) = lim(h-->0) (F(x+h) - F(x)) / h[/code] I remember reading, many years ago when I was a Freshman, that Newton never used the rules we use today for solving derivatives. He always used limits to solve his calculus problems. The rules such as F'(x^n) = nx^(n-1) were found later and were derived from the limit function I showed above. I'd hate to have to go through Physics using limits to solve problems. . -- not necessarily stoned... just beautiful.
