Hell yeah! And another dope thing about the whole shebang, turns out the derivative < - > integral operation is wildly useful for describing...everything.

The simplest example, that I love the most, is just the very pedestrian (pun intended) relationship between a car's position, velocity, and acceleration. It's just enough "levels" (of diff < - > int) to have some instructional "meat", and it's a totally ubiquitous experience.

And then, when peered at more closely, that kind of relationship starts to crop up everywhere, suggests so much more!

Calculus is best maf
