Chapter 3 - Differential Calculus

The document discusses the concept of derivatives and how they relate to the slope of the tangent line to a function's graph at a given point. It provides rules for calculating the derivative of various functions using formulas for sums, products, quotients, powers, and compositions of functions. Examples are given applying these rules to find the derivative of various functions, such as polynomials, rational functions, radical functions, and composite functions.
