Chapter 3. Derivatives
The derivative is one of the key ideas in calculus, and is
used to study a wide range of problems in mathematics,
science, economics, and medicine. These problems include
finding points where a continuous function is zero,
calculating the velocity and acceleration of a moving object,
determining how the rate of flow of a liquid into a container
changes the level of the liquid within it, describing the
path followed by a light ray going from a point in air to a
point in water, finding the number of items a manufacturing
company should produce in order to maximize its profits,
studying the spread of an infectious disease within a given
population, or calculating the amount of blood the heart
pumps in a minute based on how well the lungs are
functioning.

Chapter 3.1 Tangents and the Derivative at a Point

In this section we define the slope (наклонную) and tangent
(касательную/жанама) to a curve at a point, and the
derivative of a function at a point. The derivative gives a
way to find both the slope of a graph and the instantaneous
rate of change of a function.
Summary.We have been discussing slopes of curves, lines tangent to
a curve, the rate of change of a function, and the derivative of a
function at a point. All of these ideas refer to the same limit.
