What is the First Derivative?

The first derivative tells us the steepness of a mathematical function at a given point. In other words, it is the slope of the math function at said point.

What is the Second Derivative?

The second derivative measures the rate of change of the first derivative (or the slope of function). It also tells us the concavity of the said function.
