My point was two-fold:

a) phase is used differently in different contexts and the
"derivative" in one context gives you a completely different
quantity than the derivative in the other.

b) stating that A is a derivative of a function B is, generally,
useless unless you state which variable the derivative is taken by.

See, I have a physics book, too.


If you needed a physics book to remember that, you're losing
it.
