gollark: For natural numbers, anyway.
gollark: As it turns out, instead of the power rule you can just do horrible amounts of product rule, if you have a rule that d/dx x is 2 and d/dx a for constant a is 0.
gollark: osmarkscalculator™ actually defines derivatives recursively using it!
gollark: Consider: 2 does not change as you vary x.
gollark: √x = x^½.
