Differentiation Higher

Differentiation – Math (Higher)

We will cover the following:

• Differentiation from 1st principles
• Differentiation by rule
• The product rule
• The quotient rule
• The chain rule
• Differentiating trigonometric functions
• The second derivative
• Differentiating inverse trigonometric functions
• Differentiating the exponential function
• Differentiating the natural log function
• Stationary points
• Second derivative test for turning points
• Points of inflection

Students are first presented with a presentation of slides going through leaving cert higher level differentiation. There are tutorial videos where students are guided through the correct solutions to past paper questions on differentiation. Students can review their understanding of the topic with our differentiation quiz.
