The Shortcut Home

ghandi “To find the derivative of something like x^3, take the exponent, put it at the front, and subtract one from that exponent. That’d be 3x^2,” a voice said in the back of Ellen’s mind. Eighteen-year old Ellen Cavendish sat in Intro to Calculus, half-listening to the teacher.
