Introduction to Notation and Derivatives

The video tutorial explains the concept of derivatives, focusing on their role as the gradient of a tangent and the instantaneous rate of change of a function. It covers the traditional method of calculating derivatives using limits, where h approaches zero, and introduces an alternative notation using delta x and delta y. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of understanding both notations, as they are commonly used in mathematical contexts. The video concludes by reinforcing the connection between dy/dx and f'x as representations of the derivative.
