The document defines the derivative and discusses rules for computing derivatives. It introduces the derivative as describing the slope of a curve at a point. It then outlines several basic rules for determining derivatives, such as the power rule, sum rule, and rules for constants and combinations of functions. The document also discusses the product rule, chain rule, and applications of derivatives to motion and rates of change problems.

The following presentation is an introduction to the Algebraic Methods – part one for level 4 Mathematics. This resources is a part of the 2009/2010 Engineering (foundation degree, BEng and HN) courses from University of Wales Newport (course codes H101, H691, H620, HH37 and 001H). This resource is a part of the core modules for the full time 1st year undergraduate programme.
The BEng & Foundation Degrees and HNC/D in Engineering are designed to meet the needs of employers by placing the emphasis on the theoretical, practical and vocational aspects of engineering within the workplace and beyond. Engineering is becoming more high profile, and therefore more in demand as a skill set, in today’s high-tech world. This course has been designed to provide you with knowledge, skills and practical experience encountered in everyday engineering environments.
Introduction to integral calculus.
This slideshow deals with concept of integration. A complete explanation is provided that how integration can be written as summation. Area under the graph can be calculated through integration.

Lesson 26: The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus (Section 10 version)Matthew Leingang
The First Fundamental Theorem of Calculus looks at the area function and its derivative. It so happens that the derivative of the area function is the original integrand.

The First Fundamental Theorem of Calculus looks at the area function and its derivative. It so happens that the derivative of the area function is the original integrand.
The second Fundamental Theorem of Calculus makes calculating definite integrals a problem of antidifferentiation!

3. Definition of the Derivative
The derivative of a function describes The slope can be computed using the
the slope of the curve at any point, concept of the limit.
i.e., the slope of a line that is tangent The process of finding the derivative
to the curve. of a function is called
differentiation.

11. Summary
Derivatives relate to the slope of a function at a point.
The process is called differentiation.
The derivative of a function can be computed using
limits or a set of rules.
