Calculus 1: Differentiation

Part 2 of 3: Learn the basic methods, and applications of differential calculus

What you'll learn

Review on precalculus, limits, and continuity
Concepts of derivatives
Derivative rules, including power rule, product rule, quotient rule, chain rule, etc.
Differentiability
Higher order derivatives
More advanced techniques of finding derivatives, including implicit differentiation, log differentiation, etc.
Derivatives of transcendental functions, including trigonometric, exponential, logarithmic functions, etc.

Requirements

Limits and Continuity

Description

HOW THIS COURSE WORK:

This course, Calculus 1: Differentiation, has everything you need to know about derivatives in Calculus 1, including video, notes from whiteboard during lectures, and practice problems (with solutions!). I also show every single step in examples and theorems. The course is organized into the following sections:

Introduction
Review: Precalculus, Limits, and Continuity
Differentiation (derivative rules and techniques)
Derivatives of Transcendental Functions (trig., exp., log.)
Conclusion

CONTENT YOU WILL GET INSIDE EACH SECTION:

Videos: I start each topic by introducing and explaining the concept. I share all my solving-problem techniques using examples. I show a variety of math issue you may encounter in class and make sure you can solve any problem by yourself.

Notes: In each section, you will find my notes as downloadable resource that I wrote during lectures. So you can review the notes even when you don't have internet access (but I encourage you to take your own notes while taking the course!).

Extra notes: I provide some extra notes, including formula sheets and some other useful study guidance.

Assignments: After you watch me doing some examples, now it's your turn to solve the problems! Be honest and do the practice problems before you check the solutions! If you pass, great! If not, you can review the videos and notes again or ask for help in the Q&A section.

See you inside the course!
