Physicists are interested in other rates of change as well—for instance, the rate of change of work with respect to time (which is called power). Chemists who study a chemical reac- tion are interested in the rate of change in the concentration of a reactant with respect to time (called the rate of reaction). A steel manufacturer is interested in the rate of change of the cost of producing x tons of steel per day with respect to x (called the marginal cost). A biologist is interested in the rate of change of the population of a colony of bacteria with respect to time. In fact, the computation of rates of change is important in all of the nat- ural sciences, in engincering, and even in the social sciences. Further examples will be given in Section 3.3.
