This follows on from the previous session, on a similar theme. You will practice the use of the various "differentiation rules", including the product, quotient and chain rule, how to cope with composite functions, finding maxima and minima, curve sketching, and partial differentiation. Having seen the difficulties that previous generations of students have had with some of these concepts, though, we want you to benefit from this revision and practice. Differentiations involving one of these rules come up so often, we need you to be sure to apply them correctly and confidently.
The following are from MathCentre on differentiation rules, and are used in this course with permission.
