gollark: ???
gollark: It's a function *of* x (or y), it doesn't *set* x or y to that.
gollark: What? Y is up/down on there, X is left/right.
gollark: f(x) = whatever means "for any value x, give a value here of whatever".
gollark: f(x)=x² is just defining a function f. You can get the derivative of that if you want.
