Main Ideas, Concepts, and Lessons

1. Historical Context and Importance of Calculus

Calculus (differentiation and integration) is crucial in physics.
Newton and Leibniz independently discovered Calculus.
Newton’s Principia introduced mathematical principles foundational to natural philosophy (early science).
Understanding Calculus transforms the way we perceive the physical world.

2. Functions and Their Graphical Representation

A function expresses the relationship where \( y \) changes with \( x \).
\( x \) is the domain; \( y \) is the range.
Functions can be visualized using Cartesian (rectangular) coordinates, introduced by Descartes.
Graphs help understand how variables change over time or other parameters.

3. Average Rate of Change vs Instantaneous Rate of Change

Average rate of change is the slope between two points: \(\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}\).
Instantaneous rate of change (derivative) measures how \( y \) changes at a specific point.
To find the instantaneous slope, consider the limit as the change in \( x \) (\(\Delta x\)) approaches zero.

4. Definition of the Derivative

Derivative is defined as: \[ f'(x) = \lim_{\Delta x \to 0} \frac{f(x + \Delta x) - f(x)}{\Delta x} \]
This limit represents the slope of the tangent line at point \( x \).
The derivative is itself a function, assigning each \( x \) the slope of the tangent at that point.

5. Notation for Derivatives

Leibniz notation: \(\frac{df}{dx}\)
Newton notation: \(f'(x)\)
Higher derivatives: \(f''(x)\), \(f^{(n)}(x)\), or \(\frac{d^n f}{dx^n}\)

6. Rules of Differentiation

Constant multiple rule: \( \frac{d}{dx}[k f(x)] = k \frac{d}{dx} f(x) \)
Sum and difference rule: \( \frac{d}{dx}[f(x) \pm g(x)] = f'(x) \pm g'(x) \)
Product Rule: \[ \frac{d}{dx}[f(x)g(x)] = f'(x)g(x) + f(x)g'(x) \]
Quotient rule: \[ \frac{d}{dx}\left[\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}\right] = \frac{f'(x)g(x) - f(x)g'(x)}{[g(x)]^2} \]

7. Power Rule for Differentiation

For \( f(x) = x^n \), \[ f'(x) = n x^{n-1} \]
This is derived using the binomial expansion and limit process.

8. Composite Functions and Chain Rule

Composite function: \( f(g(x)) \)
Derivative of composite function (Chain Rule): \[ \frac{d}{dx} f(g(x)) = f'(g(x)) \cdot g'(x) \]
Example: Differentiating \( \cos(2x) \) requires differentiating outer function \( \cos \) and multiplying by derivative of inner function \( 2x \).
