Applications of Differentiation - Single-Variable Calculus (Undergraduate Foundation)

Once you know how to differentiate, the next step is understanding what to do with the derivative. This course covers real-world applications, such as curve sketching, optimization, and motion problems. We discuss how derivatives help find local extrema, inflection points, and intervals of increase or decrease. You'll also explore related rates and the Mean Value Theorem. It’s a practical and insightful course that shows how calculus models change and solves tangible problems.
