Derivatives Aren't What You Think They Are

Try Vieta Space here: https://vietaspace.com/notes Derivative definition, calculus, and derivatives for beginners — in this video, I explain what a derivative really means, by building up simple intuition. Starting from functions, all the way to tangents and limits. Instead of learning formulas, we'll see exactly how to formulate a derivative, and a beautiful example at the end. ❤️ Support my channel ❤️ 👤 Become a Member:    / @elliesleightholm   💸 Patreon:   / elliesleightholm   ☕️ Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/elliesleight...
