gollark: I just wrote these definitions, which are very definitive:``` ("Fac[0]", "1"), ("Fac[n]", "Fac[n-1]*n"), ("Fib[0]", "0"), ("Fib[1]", "1"), ("Fib[n]", "Fib[n-1] + Fib[n-2]")```
gollark: The product rule is written `("D[dx, a*b]", "D[dx, a] * b + D[dx, b] * a")` in osmarkscalculator™.
gollark: Yes.
gollark: I imagine it's doable, it would just be annoying to.
gollark: Ideally the output format would be better, but that is actually hard to do.
