The World Computer : Derivative Conditions of Racial Capitalism
In The World Computer Jonathan Beller forcefully demonstrates that the history of commodification generates information itself.Out of the omnipresent calculus imposed by commodification, information emerges historically as a new money form.Investigating its subsequent financialization of daily life and colonization of semiotics, Beller situates the development of myriad systems for quantifying the value of people, objects, and affects as endemic to racial capitalism and computation.Built on oppression and genocide, capital and its technical result as computation manifest as racial formations, as do the machines and software of social mediation that feed racial capitalism and run on social difference.Algorithms, derived from for-profit management strategies, conscript all forms of expression—language, image, music, communication—into the calculus of capital such that even protest may turn a profit.Computational media function for the purpose of extraction rather than ameliorating global crises, and financialize every expressive act, converting each utterance into a wager.Repairing this ecology of exploitation, Beller contends, requires decolonizing information and money, and the scripting of futures wagered by the cultural legacies and claims of those in struggle.

What is the derivative or derivative function?
The derivative of a function represents the rate at which the function is changing at a particular point. It gives us information about the slope of the function at that point. The derivative function is the function that gives the derivative of the original function at every point where it is defined. It is used in calculus to solve problems related to rates of change, optimization, and finding the behavior of functions.
-
Is the derivative the derivative function of f?
Yes, the derivative is the derivative function of f. The derivative of a function f at a point x is the instantaneous rate of change of the function at that point, and it is represented by f'(x) or dy/dx. The derivative function gives us the slope of the tangent line to the graph of f at any point x, and it provides important information about the behavior of the original function. Therefore, the derivative is indeed the derivative function of f.
-
When is the second derivative and when is the first derivative?
The second derivative of a function is the derivative of the first derivative. In other words, it is the rate of change of the rate of change of the function. The first derivative, on the other hand, represents the rate of change of the function itself. Therefore, the second derivative is used to analyze the curvature and concavity of a function, while the first derivative is used to analyze the slope and direction of the function.
-
Is the derivative correct?
To determine if the derivative is correct, we need to check if it follows the rules of differentiation and if it accurately represents the rate of change of the function. We can verify the derivative by calculating it independently or using software like Wolfram Alpha. Additionally, we can compare the derivative to the original function to see if they align with our understanding of the function's behavior.

Derivative Images : Financial Derivatives in French Film, Literature and Thought
Focused on French cultural responses to the 2008 global financial crisis in cinema, literature and theory, Derivative Images offers detailed analyses of post-2008 French-language works, including Les Effondres (2010), Le Grand Retournement (2013) and L'Outsider (2016), to show how they appropriate and reconfigure notions at the heart of the crisis, such as derivatives, financial trading and markets.Drawing on ideas from thinkers such as Jonathan Beller, Yves Citton and Peter Szendy, this book shows how derivatives can be taken as a conceptual resource for thinking about creative practice and the circulation of audio-visual images today.

Derivative Lives : Biofiction, Uncertainty, and Speculative Risk in Contemporary Spanish Narrative
The title of this book, Derivative Lives, alludes to the challenge of finding one’s way within the contemporary market of virtually limitless information and claims to veracity.Amid this profusion of options, it is easy to feel lost in spaces of uncertainty where biographical truth teeters between the real and the imaginative.The title thus also points to the prolific market of biographical novels that openly and intentionally play in the speculative space between the real and the fictional.Drawing on theories of risk and uncertainty, Derivative Lives considers the surge in biofiction in Spain and globally, relating literary expression to concepts such as circumstantiality, derivatives, speculation, and game studies.

Corporate Governance and Statutory Derivative Actions : Comparative Approach to Shareholder Litigation
This book is the first comprehensive study of the statutory derivative action in Australia, using the Australian model as a reference point and comparing it with the United Kingdom, Canada, Singapore, New Zealand, Hong Kong and USA counterparts.The book includes an empirical study covering over a 20-year period from the date the statutory framework came into operation, coupled with extensive case law analysis and comparisons with other jurisdictions.It informs the world about the uniqueness of Australia’s statutory derivative action, and what other countries can learn from it as shareholder protection and promotion of good corporate governance.While some countries have statutory derivative action, there are still countries that do not have the statutory framework that are considering introducing it into their corporate law.This book is also useful for countries that already have their local variants of the statutory derivative action that are considering revising their existing provisions.This book provides insights and suggestions for lawmakers, judges, litigation practitioners and corporate law and litigation researchers worldwide in reforming their existing model.

What are derivative functions?
Derivative functions are a fundamental concept in calculus that represent the rate of change of a function at any given point. They provide information about how a function is changing, such as its slope or instantaneous rate of change. Derivatives are calculated by finding the limit of the average rate of change as the interval approaches zero, and they are used to solve problems in various fields such as physics, engineering, and economics.
-
Which derivative is correct?
Without specific context or details, it is impossible to determine which derivative is correct. The correctness of a derivative depends on the function being differentiated and the rules or methods used to find the derivative. It is important to carefully follow the rules of differentiation and check for any mistakes in the process to ensure the correctness of the derivative. If there is a specific function or problem in question, providing more details would allow for a more accurate assessment of the correctness of the derivative.
-
Is this derivative correct?
Without the specific derivative provided, I am unable to determine if it is correct. However, to verify the correctness of a derivative, you can use differentiation rules and techniques to check if the derivative was calculated accurately. Make sure to double-check your work and consider seeking assistance from a teacher or tutor if you are unsure.

What is the difference between a derivative term and a derivative function?
A derivative term refers to the term in a mathematical expression that represents the rate of change of a function with respect to its independent variable. On the other hand, a derivative function refers to the entire function that represents the rate of change of another function. In other words, a derivative term is a single term within a derivative function, which may consist of multiple terms.
