Calculus – Derivatives

Book Calculus by Thomas/Finney, 9th Edition, Page 109 Derivates is one of the most important concept in calculus. It measures the rate at which a function changes. It is defined actually as the limit of secant slopes which is the slope of curve at a point. Derivative of the funtion $f$ with respect to variable ... Read More

Calculus – Limits and Continuity

Book Calculus by Thomas/Finney, 9th Edition; Page 51 Limit: One of the main concept that differentiates calculus with algebra and trigonometry (page 51). Core concepts: limit, limits to describe how different functions changes or varies (continuously or erratically), how limits can be used to define tangent lines to the graph of the functions, derivative of ...

Calculus – Trignometric Functions

Book: Calculus by Thomas/Finney. 9th Edition Radian is a unit of measurment. In calculus, angle is measured in radian. (Navigation and astronomy uses degrees for angles) – page 35 Radian measure $\theta$ is given by $\frac{s}{r}$ wher $s$ is arc length AB and $r$ is the radius. Six basic trigonometric functions. Some other functions. For ... Read More
