Calculus tutor. What is a derivative?
Description
This lesson conceptually introduces the concept of the derivative, which is one of the central topics in Calculus. The derivative is introduced by way of a discussion of real-world experience with position, velocity, and acceleration in everyday life. The position, velocity, and acceleration graphs are drawn to illustrate the point and numerous example problems are worked to reinforce the material.
