Quick Reference (4)
Linearity rules
There are two rules known as linearity rules which, when used with a table of derivatives, enable us to differentiate a wider range of functions. These rules are summarised in this leaflet.
Linearity rules
This leaflet explains how to differentiate the sum of two functions, and constant multiples of functions, using 'linearity rules'. (Engineering Maths First Aid Kit 8.3)
Table of derivatives
This leaflet provides a table of common functions and their derivatives. (Engineering Maths First Aid Kit 8.2)
Table of derivatives
This leaflet provides a table of common functions and their derivatives, and the opportunity to practice using it.

Extending the table of derivatives
This unit extends the basic table and produces a more complete and therefore more useful table.
Using a table of derivatives
This unit provides a basic table of some standard derivatives.
Many of the results are derived.

Using a table of derivatives
In this unit we construct a Table of Derivatives of commonly occurring functions. This is done using the knowledge gained in previous units on differentiation from first principles. (Mathtutor Video Tutorial)
