Conservative

It's funny in math the term Conservative, comes from the newton's law of Conservation which means that energy is conserved from work. The formula is that the integral over a curve times the length of travel, which is the components of a function derived, is equal to the work done. To me, the word "conservative" will never be the same. People say "oh i'm conservative". does that mean that their curves are derived to find their work? Probably yes.
