| contents | This paper presents an algebraic-geometric construction of the derivative developed initially within the class of polynomial functions without introducing limits at the initial stage. Tangency is characterized by an algebraic condition: the difference between a function and a linear approximation has a double root at a given point. On this basis, the derivative is defined as a functional correspondence assigning to each point the slope of the tangent. Within the class of polynomials, the existence, uniqueness, and fundamental rules of differentiation are established purely algebraically. The constructed model is then extended conceptually to elementary functions and connected to the linear decomposition of functions, from which the classical limit representation of the derivative naturally emerges. Thus, the limit appears not as a starting point but as an analytic expression of an already constructed concept. |
