5. APPLICATIONS OF DERIVATIVES
www.supermath.info/Calc85to101.pdfAPPLICATIONS OF DERIVATIVES Derivatives are everywhere in engineering, physics, biology, economics, and much more. In this chapter we seek to elucidate a number of general ideas which cut across many disciplines. Linearization of a function is the process of approximating a function by a line near some point.
