In other words,
-
your job is to guess a function whose second derivative is a,
-
and this is called integration,
-
which is the opposite of differentiation,
-
and integration is just guessing.
-
Integration is not an algorithmic process like differentiation.
-
If I give you a function,
-
you know how to take the derivative.
-
Change the independent variable, find the change in the function,
-
take the ratio and that's the derivative.
-
The opposite is being asked here.
-
I tell you something about the second derivative of a function
