Derivatives (12 videos)

These twelve videos on Derivatives dig deeper into the subfield of calculus known as "differential calculus." Like the overview videos, Professor Strang explains how each topic applies to real-life applications. Along with the videos, there are summary slides and practice problems available under the Related Resources tab on each video page.
