A derivative measures the instantaneous rate of change of a function — the slope of the tangent line at any point. Derivatives are the foundation of differential calculus and are used in physics (velocity, acceleration), economics (marginal cost), and optimisation.

- 2Chain rule: d/dx[f(g(x))] = f'(g(x)) · g'(x)
- 3Product rule: d/dx[f·g] = f'g + fg'
- 4Common derivatives: d/dx[sin x] = cos x, d/dx[eˣ] = eˣ, d/dx[ln x] = 1/x
