In the spirit of AP season for high schoolers in the U.S. and my own upcoming Calculus exam, I've made this calc-themed mini for my class. Anyone is welcome to give it a shot, of course, but it may be a little more difficult to solve without knowledge of calculus topics or AP testing. The circled letters in the grid can be rearranged to form a fundamental topic of calculus, dealing with change over time (or another variable). Thanks for playing!

Nice to know that I still remember my calculus from 1984 college classes. EE career doesn't let you forget.
Fun, thank you! Thanks for all the context and hints — enabled me to solve downs-only :) The meta was another matter… I ran through several anagrams before I figured it out!
Best wishes for the AP and for your future mathematical endeavors. And if there is a HS crossword club at your school, I’d love to know about it — please ping me on Discord or at sendhil@gmail.com!
Definitely a 5. An if you forget the quotient rule, the multiplication, power, and chain rules will do. (25 years of doing calculus before memorizing the quotient rule!)
