You will translate as in the following:
to differentiate = dériver
to integrate = intégrer
edit: if I look for the meaning of differentiate
, the definition match with french dériver
(If I dérive
f(x) = x^2 I got f'(x)=2x). but if I look for the translation of dériver
in maths meaning I got to derive
.
Are to differentiate
and to derive
synonyms?
The verb "dériver" has two important meanings in mathematics:
-
to obtain the derivative of a function; it’s the translation of "to differentiate" in the present case.
ex: Si on dérive f(x)=x² on obtient f'(x)=2x.
-
to deduce a mathemetical fact through the use of logical principles and principles of the theory at hand; in other words to prove a theorem or a lemma; it’s then the translation of "to deduce" or "to derive".
ex: On dérive ce théorème à partir des théorèmes 3, 4, et 5 de la section précédente.
- For the verb "to integrate" there is no other word in French than "intégrer".
ex: Si on intègre la fonction exponentielle on obtient encore la fonction exponentielle.
