Differentiation

How many eggs should a bird lay to maximise the number of chicks that will hatch? An introduction to optimisation.

Get started with calculus by exploring the connections between the sign of a curve and the sign of its gradient.

Put your complex numbers and calculus to the test with this impedance calculation.

Look at the calculus behind the simple act of a car going over a step.

Can you hit the target functions using a set of input functions and a little calculus and algebra?

What functions can you make using the function machines RECIPROCAL and PRODUCT and the operator machines DIFF and INT?

Can you match the charts of these functions to the charts of their integrals?

A point moves on a line segment. A function depends on the position of the point. Where do you expect the point to be for a minimum of this function to occur.

Build series for the sine and cosine functions by adding one term at a time, alternately making the approximation too big then too small but getting ever closer.

What is the quickest route across a ploughed field when your speed around the edge is greater?
