Return Value

A Curve that represents the derivative of this curve.

Remarks

The value of the derivative of a curve at a point is the slope of the curve at that point. For polynomials of degree 0 or 1, a Constant is returned. For polynomials of degree 2, a Line is returned. For polynomials of degree 3, a Quadratic is returned.
