1. Introduction
Derivatives are one of the fundamental tools in calculus, used to measure how a function
changes as its input changes. They have applications across diverse fields such as physics,
economics, engineering, and biology, making them a cornerstone of mathematical analysis.
2. Historical Background
The concept of derivatives traces back to the works of Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm
Leibniz in the late 17th century. Both mathematicians independently developed calculus,
laying the foundation for modern science and technology.
3. Definition of Derivatives
A derivative represents the rate of change of a function concerning its independent variable.
Mathematically, if y = f(x), the derivative is denoted as:

f'(x) = lim (h -> 0) [(f(x+h) - f(x)) / h]


4. Applications in Real Life
- Physics: Calculating velocity and acceleration.

- Economics: Determining marginal costs and revenue.

- Biology: Modeling population growth.

- Engineering: Designing control systems and analyzing signals.


5. Types of Derivatives
- First-Order Derivative: Measures the rate of change.

- Second-Order Derivative: Measures the concavity or acceleration of change.

- Partial Derivatives: Used for functions with multiple variables.


18. Summary and Conclusion
Derivatives are essential in understanding and modeling changes in various fields. This
project explored their theoretical foundations, practical applications, and limitations,
emphasizing their importance in mathematics and real-world problem-solving.
