    Study Notes

    Differential Calculus

    • The primary object of study in differential calculus is the derivative of a function.

    Geometric Representation of Derivative

    • The derivative of a function at a point represents the slope of the tangent line to the graph of the function at that point.

    Finding Derivative

    • The process of finding a derivative is called differentiation.

    Significance of Derivative

    • For a real-valued function of a single real variable, the derivative of a function at a point generally determines the rate of change of the function with respect to the variable at that point.

    Connection to Integral Calculus

    • Differential calculus and integral calculus are connected as they are inverse processes: differentiation is used to find the derivative of a function, while integration is used to find the original function from its derivative.
