I know they can't delete Veeky Forums because it's the retard containment board, but can they delete all the retards who post on Veeky Forums?

Veeky Forums I need help
I'm taking a class called Mathematical Methods in Physics for, obviously, my Physics degree. The class structure at my uni is fucking atrocious. We get a total of about 20-30 minutes of lecturing PER WEEK on the course material and basically every student has to teach themselves. We have no textbook, we have a "tutorial" which is only useful AFTER you know the stuff.
to tl;dr it for you, I'm struggling on everything and barely managing to pass, but I want to know it really well. Anyone have any advice on how to really grasp these things? There a textbook for this class somewhere out there? What do?

The derivative operates on functions, not numbers. If f(x)=x (the left side of the equation) and g(x)=5 (the right side of the equation), then you can't say that f(x)=g(x). From faulty premises this post derives faulty conclusions.

The "function" is obviously not differentiable because its just a vertical line.
The denominators in the sequence of secant lines can't exist, so the limit of those secants can't converge to a tangent, so the derivative doesn't exist.
You can't even differentiate most equations of functions because the set of solutions isn't usually a continuous function.
