This unit explains how differentiation can be used to locate turning points. It explains what is meant by a maximum turning point and a minimum turning point.

After reading this text, and/or viewing the video tutorial on this topic, you should be able to differentiate the functions sin(x)and cos(x) from first principles.

In this unit we look at how we can use logarithms to simplify certain functions before we differentiate them.

After reading this text, and/or viewing the video tutorial on this topic, you should be able to understand the process involved in differentiating from first principles and differentiate some simple functions from first principles.

This unit looks at some basic differentiation from first principles, and in particular how to differentiate powers of x.

In this unit the natural logarithm function and the exponential function are differentiated from first principles.

This unit extends the basic table and produces a more complete and therefore more useful table.

This unit explains how to differentiate a function defined implicitly.

This unit explains how to differentiate a function defined parametrically.

This unit provides a basic table of some standard derivatives. Many of the results are derived.
