Abbreviation: D.C.
Some sources refer to a derivative as a differential coefficient, and abbreviate it D.C.
Some sources call it a derived function.
Such a derivative is also known as an ordinary derivative.
This is to distinguish it from a partial derivative, which applies to functions of more than one independent variable.
In his initial investigations into differential calculus, Isaac Newton coined the term fluxion to mean derivative.
