Higher Derivatives and Their Applications

When we take the derivative of a function, we get another function. So what's to stop of us from taking the derivative of that function? Nothing! If we take the derivative of a derivative, we get the second derivative. And it doesn't stop there. This sounds abstract, but it has tremendous application in classical physics, specifically kinematics.
