Applications of Differentiation

Differentiation is a key principle in the realm of calculus, with extensive utility in numerous disciplines such as physics, engineering, economics, and statistics. Its applications are diverse and valuable, enabling the calculation of rates of change, identification of functions' maximum and minimum values, optimization of systems, and resolution of differential equations. It is also an indispensable tool in comprehending the functioning of various mathematical operations.
