, Welcome back to Calculus One and welcome to Week 5 of our time together. You know,
at this point, you're probably wondering, is there anything more to learn about
derivatives? We've been spending so much time on derivatives. Maybe we're done. No.
There's tons more to do. In particular, this week, we'll be doing the chain rule,
which will let us differentiate compositions of differentionable
functions. And since tons of functions are built by composing together
differentionable functions, we're going to be able to differentiate a ton more
functions by the end of this week. Next week, we're going to learn how to
differentiate more functions, like sine and cosine, and that'll set us up to see
some incredible applications in the weeks to come. The computations are getting
harder. Hang in there, amazing applications are yet to come.
