24 A level Mathematics Calculus Series Second Order Derivatives Video 13

In this video, we delve into the concept of second order derivatives in calculus. Kristina explains the definition of a second order derivative and demonstrates how to calculate it. We'll learn that differentiating a function twice, or differentiating its first derivative once, yields the second order derivative. This crucial concept helps us understand the rate of change of the gradient function, a topic we will revisit when discussing turning points. Watch as we work through an example, finding both the first and second derivatives of a given function step-by-step. Subscribe to @AxiomTutoringCourses for more math tutorials.
