Abstract:
Basic properties of the derivatives. The chain rule and the rule of the inverse function. The geometric content of the derivative. Infinitesimals. Differential of a function. Derivatives of the basic functions: power, exponential, logarithm, trigonometric functions. The four basic theorems: of Fermat, of Rolle, of the mean value (Lagrange and Cauchy). Applications on the proof of the monotonicity of a function and on the proofs of inequalities. Derivatives of higher order. Applications on the proof of the convexity of a function, on inflection points, on support lines and on the proofs of inequalities. Indeterminate forms. L' Hopital rules. Taylor’s formula (derivative form of the remainder). Order of magnitude of a function at a point (mainly: polynomial, exponential and logarithmic orders). Asymptotic equality. Big and little oh.
