After Denim Dog, General Rule, and other experts wrap up the subjects of continuity and discontinuity, this program introduces the derivative. Practical examples of derivatives are provided, along with insights into the concepts of tangent lines and slopes. The Derivative Definition is explained as well, reinforced by plenty of sample problems. (31 minutes)
