Differentiation is a fundamental concept in calculus that measures how a quantity changes, represented by the derivative. It provides the slope of a function at any point and has various rules for calculation, including the power rule and product rule. Applications of differentiation span across fields like physics, economics, engineering, and computer science.

B.Tech IT – 1st Semester Mathematics What is Differentiation?
• • Differentiation is a part of Calculus.
• • It is used to find the rate at which a quantity changes. • • Example: Rate of change of distance = Speed. • • It helps find the slope or gradient of a function at any point. Derivative - Basic Idea
• • Derivative shows how a function is changing
at a point. • • Formula: • f'(x) = lim(h→0) [f(x+h) - f(x)] / h • • This is called the first principle of differentiation. Geometrical Meaning
• • Differentiation gives the slope of the tangent
to a curve at a point. • • Slope = Rate of Change = Derivative. • • Straight line: constant slope. • • Curves: changing slope. Differentiation - Visual Explanation • Diagram showing Basic Concepts and Applications. Basic Rules of Differentiation
