Basic Derivatives

· Product rule for derivatives
$\frac{d}{dx}\left(ab\right)=\frac{d}{dx}\left(a\right)b+a\frac{d}{dx}\left(b\right)$
· Derivative of the linear function
$\frac{d}{dx}\left(x\right)=1$

Derivatives of trigonometric functions

· Derivative of tangent function
$\frac{d}{dx}\left(\tan\left(\theta \right)\right)=\frac{d}{dx}\left(\theta \right)\sec\left(\theta \right)^2$
· Derivative of cosecant function
$\frac{d}{dx}\left(\csc\left(\theta \right)\right)=-\frac{d}{dx}\left(\theta \right)\csc\left(\theta \right)\cot\left(\theta \right)$

Main Topic: Differential Calculus

The derivative of a function of a real variable measures the sensitivity to change of a quantity (a function value or dependent variable) which is determined by another quantity (the independent variable). Derivatives are a fundamental tool of calculus.
