Math Fundamentals: Derivatives

This course is conceived as a review of the basic concepts of differential calculus, necessary for the first courses of those university studies where mathematics is taught. Our objective is to provide a basic course on functions and derivatives, including their applications.

• The concept of function and operations with functions.
• The definition of derivative and its properties.
• The calculation of maxima and minima of functions.
• The maximum and minimum conditions.

• The course is essentially self-contained. Familiarity with elementary mathematical notation is sufficient for its proper use.
