Differentiation is often introduced as a collection of formulas, rules and mathematical procedures. For many students and general readers, this can make the subject appear complicated and difficult to understand.
This book takes a different approach.
Differentiation - Made Simple begins with a very simple idea: things change. A car changes its position, a temperature changes with time, a business's profit changes with production, and a population changes from year to year. Differentiation gives us a mathematical way to understand how quickly such changes take place.

Differentiation - Made Simple begins with a very simple idea: things change. A car changes its position, a temperature changes with time, a business's profit changes with production, and a population changes from year to year. Differentiation gives us a mathematical way to understand how quickly such changes take place.
The book gradually develops this idea-from average rate of change to instantaneous rate of change, from slope to derivative, and from the calculation of derivatives to their interpretation and practical use.
Rather than concentrating only on formulas, the book asks an equally important question:
What does the derivative actually tell us?
We then explore how derivatives help us understand increasing and decreasing functions, stationary points, maximum and minimum values, acceleration, optimization, and applications in physics, engineering, business, science and modern technology.
The aim is not to turn the reader into an expert mathematician. It is to make the basic idea of differentiation clear, intuitive and useful.
If, by the end of this book, you can look at a derivative and understand what it means-not merely how to calculate it-then this book has achieved its purpose.
