first principle of derivatives
Background Concept of Derivatives The concept of derivative in was introduced to solve problems Physics concerning motion of an object. The credit for the development of concept of derivative and properties of a real valued function f(x) of variable x goes mainly to two famous personalities: 1.) Sir Isaac Newton(1642-1727) He is an American Physicist and Mathematician who has contributed a lot in the field of mathematics as well as Physics. 2.) Gottfried Whilhelm Leibnitz(1646-1716) He is a German Mathematician who has contributed a lot in the field of Mathematics. Let's be familiar with concept of derivatives. You have learnt Newton's law of motion in School level Physics. You might have also learnt it in higher level Physics. You have learnt about velocity of moving objects. Velocity gives relation between distance travelled by an object with time taken for the travelling. `\implies` The rate of change of displacement or distance which is magnitude of displacement, covere
