These notes cover the essentials of the topic, with definitions, theorems, proofs, and examples.
Section 1: Concept
The derivative of a function measures the rate at which the function value changes as its input

changes. This is elaborated further with examples and deeper insight into the concept.
Section 2: Rules
Product rule, quotient rule, and chain rule govern differentiation of combined functions. For
instance, d/dx [f(x)g(x)] = f'(x)g(x) + f(x)g'(x).
