Ch 5 >> CONTINUITY AND DIFFERENTIABILITY
DERIVATIVES
Derivatives are met in many engineering and science problems, especially when modelling the behaviour of moving objects.
We use the derivative to determine the maximum and minimum values of particular functions (e.g. cost, strength, amount of material used in a building, profit, loss, etc.).
After studying this lesson, you will be able to :
Differentiability at a point.
Derivative of a function:
This definition of derivative is also called the first principle of derivative.
