Differential Calculus and Its Applications · Calculus

Applications of Derivatives

Using derivatives to find rates of change, increasing/decreasing intervals, and optimal values.

Key Questions

  1. 1How do we mathematically distinguish between a local maximum and a global maximum in a closed interval?
  2. 2In what ways do derivatives allow us to approximate the values of complex non-linear functions?
  3. 3How can we use the second derivative to describe the 'shape' of a curve beyond its direction?
