Mechanics: Derivatives and Compositions

This lecture covers topics such as derivatives of functions, Newton's binomial theorem, trigonometric identities, and logarithmic identities. It also delves into compositions of functions, development of functions, and the rule of vector product calculation. The instructor, Dr. Sylvain Bréchet, explains these concepts with examples and applications, including the derivative of a product of time-dependent functions. The lecture emphasizes the importance of understanding these mathematical tools in the context of mechanics.
