In this lesson we learn about the basic rules of taking derivatives of functions. This includes the constant rule, power rule, constant multiple rule, and sum and difference rules. We show each of these rules in action using several examples. Also, we briefly discuss notation of derivatives.

This course is designed to help students understand the concepts of calculus at a grounded level. No long, boring, and unnecessary explanations, just what you need to know at a reasonable and digestible pace, with each lesson under 20 minutes!

Calculus requires a solid understanding of precalculus and algebra concepts and techniques including factoring, equation manipulation, trigonometric equations, logarithms, finding slope, graphing, and many more. If you are not familiar with these prerequisite topics, be sure to learn them first!
