Mathematics: Derivatives [Hide Descriptions]
Derivatives
  • Definition of Derivatives
  • Trigonometric Derivatives
  • Velocity
    • Applet 2 (Average Velocity) : Galileo experimented with falling objects. By meas-uring the distance fallen as a function of time he was able to conclude that the velocity is a linear function and that the acceleration is constant. This applet mir-rors his experiments.
  • Curve Sketching
    • Applet 3 (Behaviour of f, f' and f'' at given points) : Viewing a graph, determine information about a function and its first and second derivative.
    • Self Test 4 (Quiz I on the behaviour of f, f' and f'' at given points) : This is a quiz to test your ability to use concepts of differentiablity to infer information about the graph of a function. Comes with instant checking.
    • Self Test 5 (Quiz II on the behaviour of f, f' and f'' at given points) : You are given the graphs of f, f' and f'' and you have to determine which is which. Comes with instant checking.
