Introduction
Calculus is a mathematical study of changes that can be well approximated locally by linear functions.
The derivative of a function at a point measures the rate of change of the function with respect to the variable at that point. We discuss how to compute the derivatives of different types of functions and how to study functions using their derivatives.
