In this chapter, you will be able to:
understand the meaning of the derivative of a function.
find where a function is not differentiable and distinguish between corners, cusps, discontinuities, and vertical tangents.
use the rules of differentiation to calculate derivatives, including second and higher order derivatives.
use derivatives to analyze straight line motion and solve other problems involving rates of change.
use the rules for differentiating the six basic trigonometric functions.
