I remember when my calculus professor offhand mentioned these and jerk. He had a really dry sense of humor, so I didn't realize that he wasn't joking with us (the class) until like two semesters later.

So, you didn't realise that during the unit test?

If I remember right, it wasn't on any test. Those tests were all problem solving, and none of the problems had derivatives deeper than acceleration. It was awhile ago though, I could be misremembering

Well, it might just have been an out of syllabus thing considering I was not taught that in class and only learnt it while having fun somewhere.
