Differentiation of Univariate Functions

Differentiation of Univariate Functions #

Differentiation measures rate of change.

For a function f(x), the derivative measures the rate of change.

$[ f'(x) = $lim_{h $to 0} $frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h} $]

Interpretation:

  • Slope of tangent
  • Instantaneous rate of change
