    This document discusses rates of change and the chain rule. It introduces the chain rule formula for calculating the derivative of composite functions, where the inner function is changing with respect to an outer variable. It also discusses how small changes in variables can be approximated and how the derivative represents the rate at which a dependent variable changes with respect to changes in an independent variable.
