Differentiation (Metric)

Class Details

Tom Baker

Learn, or revise, differentiation from first principles, techniques of differentiation and using differentiation to sketch curves and solve problems.

Principles

The gradient of a curve as the limit of the gradient of a secant or chord. This is an A-level topic, but sometimes a bit neglected at that level.

Techniques

Differentiating key functions, and sums, products, quotients and composites. This is an A-level topic, which Science and Engineering courses at Imperial will assume you know.

Applications

Using differentiation to find stationary points and points of inflexion on curves, and to solve problems involving velocity and acceleration. This is an A-level topic, which Science and Engineering courses at Imperial will assume you know.

The result \(f(x)=f(0)+x\,f'(0)+x^2/2!\,f''(0)+\dots\).

Lesson Not yet graded
