Listen "What is a Derivative"
Episode Synopsis
Shows that the notion of what a derivative is -- NOT what one learns in first year calculus -- that it is the "best" linear approximation to a function.This idea allows us to extend the derivative beyond what one sees in first year calculus; meaning, extending the idea of derivative to higher dimensional functions.In fact, it can be used in an "infinite" dimensional setting to derive equations of motion in physics.
