Introduction to Finding Derivatives

The video tutorial explains the concept of derivatives, starting with the idea of rates of change and tangents. It demonstrates how to find the gradient at a specific point using the example of Y = X^2. The tutorial then introduces the general rule for finding gradients from first principles, applying it to the function X^3. The process involves algebraic manipulation and the use of limits. The video concludes by summarizing the derivative as the instantaneous rate of change and its significance in understanding nonlinear graphs.

Describe the limit process as H approaches zero in the context of finding derivatives.
