“Calculus Tutor: Curve Sketching Using Derivatives”

The Calculus Tutor covers all of the core topics in detail. What sets this series apart is that the concepts are taught entirely through step-by-step example problems of increasing difficulty. It works by introducing each new concept in an easy to understand way and using example problems that are worked out step-by-step and line-by-line to completion. Students will be able to work problems with ease, improve their problem-solving skills and understand the underlying concepts of Calculus. This lesson teaches students how to sketch curves using the rules of Calculus and the properties of derivatives. Numerous examples are worked and reinforce the concepts associated with using the sign of the derivative to predict the shape of the curve in question.
