Ooh, ooh, I think I know this one!  Just starting to study calculus after 
having managed to away with it for twenty years or so...

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that this is:

"instantaneous value of voltage divided by instantaneous value of time".

As opposed to DELTAv/DELTAt (where DELTA should be a triangle symbol) which 
is, once again correct me if I'm wrong:

"change in voltage divided by change in time".
