Lesson 1: Numbers Problems and Geometric Applications
The focus of the course, thus far, has been on limits and derivatives, but not much time has been spent on their applications. Take a look at the video Introduction to the Application of Derivatives for a glimpse at what is coming.
One application of differential calculus is optimization, where the goal is to determine the best way to do something. Optimization problems can often be solved by determining the maximum or minimum value of a function.
