And don't get me started about the people that take the third derivative. They're just a bunch of jerks. /obscure math joke Wow, ya got me. I'm usually pretty good with obscure math jokes, even obscure physics jokes (that was my major), but this one went whizzing right by me like it was a stealth ninja.
Help?

Third derivative shows the abruptness of changes - “jerks”.

First derivative is velocity.
Second is acceleration.
Third is jerk.
