Osaamistavoitteet

Differential calculus is based on the concept of derivative of a function. In short, the derivative of a function may be calculated, if we divide the change taken by the function by the corresponding change taken by its variable, when the change in the variable is small. The fuel consumption of an automobile, for instance, increases together with its speed, and the increase in the fuel consumption divided by the increase in the speed gives the derivative of the fuel consumption with respect to the speed. The derivative of a function is one of the most important concepts of the whole mathematics, and almost all formulas of the engineering sciences have been written by means of it. In this course one learns to differentiate functions, and to apply the concept of derivative, among other things, to optimization.
