2: Differentiation

( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)

  • 2.1: Derivatives
    Derivative as the standard part of the slope of a hyperreal straight line through a point on a curve. Examples of how to calculate derivative and how the concept can be applied to contexts such as velocity and marginal values.
  • 2.2: Differentials and Tangent Lines
    Finding the tangent line to a curve at a given point. Using the tangent line as the basis for differentials of independent and dependent variables.
  • 2.3: Derivatives of Rational Functions
    Differentiating rational functions, with discussion and proofs of the Constant, Sum, Product, Quotient, and Power Rules.
  • 2.4: Inverse Functions
    Definition of inverse functions. The Inverse Function Rule for finding the derivative of a function using the derivative of its inverse.
  • 2.5: Transcendental Functions
    Definitions and derivatives of the trigonometric, exponential and logarithmic functions.
  • 2.6: Chain Rule
    Defining compositions of functions. Using the Chain Rule to differentiate compositions of functions and functions of dependent variables.
  • 2.7: Higher Derivatives
    Definition of higher-order derivatives of a function, and how to calculate them.
  • 2.8: Implicit Functions
    Definition of implicit functions and rules of implicit differentiation.
  • 2.9: Extra Problems for Chapter 2
