This lecture covers the concept of derivatives as the infinitesimal limit of the ratio of a function's variation to the variation of its variable, including the derivative of a composition of functions and the Taylor expansion. It also explains the derivative of a function as the slope of the graph of its position, and the acceleration as the derivative of velocity. The lecture introduces the temporal derivative notation used in physics.
