The derivative is defined as the rate of change of one quantity with respect to another. In terms of functions, the rate of change of function is defined as dy/dx = f(x) = y’.
The concept of derivatives has been used in small scale and large scale. The concept of derivatives used in many ways such as change of temperature or rate of change of shapes and sizes of an object depending on the conditions etc.,

Yes I have learnt calculus earlier but the concepts were not clear. Now I understand where the functions are coming from
Awesome! This Course a true insight what it's all about with mathematics as thee tool.
I am finding this course very interesting and easy to follow. As someone who is not trained in mathematics, I needed a course that clearly explains every part of the process and is tailored to me as someone who knows nothing about calculus. If this course can't teach me calculus then I am sure nothing will! Thank you for a great course.
This course delivers on what was said in the intro lecture, an intuition behind calculus! It is really helpful for engineers who are trying to apply calculus to their work. Mark is also a very enthusiastic person, so you get motivated to continue on to next lecture.
I must admit that it was a really captivating course. It does exactly what it advertises, which is showing You how mathematical concepts intertwine with each other, where do they come from, and most importantly answers the question every engineering student asks themselves... why the hell do I have to learn all this math.
