www.mindbites.com In this lesson you will learn how to calculate the derivative of different trigonometric functions. Professor Burger will teach you how to calculate the derivative of the most common trig functions (sine, cosine, and tangent). To arrive at the derivatives of cos, sin and tan, you will be walked through the derivation of these formulas given the definition of the derivative. The derivative of sin(x) = cos(x), the derivative of cos(x) is -sin(x), and the derivative of tan(x) is sec^2(x) Taught by Professor Edward Burger, this lesson was selected from a broader, comprehensive course, College Algebra. This course and others are available from Thinkwell, Inc. The full course can be found at www.thinkwell.com The full course covers limits, derivatives, implicit differentiation, integration or antidifferentiation, L’Hôpital’s Rule, functions and their inverses, improper integrals, integral calculus, differential calculus, sequences, series, differential equations, parametric equations, polar coordinates, vector calculus and a variety of other AP Calculus, College Calculus and Calculus II topics. Edward Burger, Professor of Mathematics at Williams College, earned his Ph.D. at the University of Texas at Austin, having graduated summa cum laude with distinction in mathematics from Connecticut College. He has also taught at UT-Austin and the University of Colorado at Boulder, and he served as a fellow at the University of Waterloo in Canada and at Macquarie …
