History of Derivative in Timeline
The derivative, a fundamental concept in mathematics, measures a function's sensitivity to changes in its input. It represents the slope of the tangent line to the function's graph at a specific point, providing the best linear approximation near that value. This is also known as the instantaneous rate of change, reflecting the ratio of change in the dependent variable relative to the independent variable. Differentiation is the process of calculating a derivative.
1931: Stefan Banach Proves Derivative Set is Meager
In 1931, Stefan Banach demonstrated that the set of functions possessing a derivative at any point constitutes a meager set within the broader space of all continuous functions, implying that most continuous functions lack a derivative at even a single point.
