My argument is that it is worth memorising also the derivations, rather than re-deriving from scratch each time.
Meorising the derivation makes it easier to derive a second-order derivation, and so on. At some level of abstraction, going from first principles becomes prohibitively expensive and caching intermediary results, or so to speak, unlocks that again.
