The document provides a comprehensive overview of calcolo differenziale (differential calculus), focusing on limits and derivatives. It covers key concepts such as the definition of derivatives, geometric interpretation, and rules for calculating derivatives of various functions. The material is suitable for high school students studying advanced mathematics.
• The text explains the concept of derivatives as the limit of the difference quotient, introducing the notion of tangent lines to curves.
• It presents derivation rules for elementary functions, including polynomials, trigonometric, exponential, and logarithmic functions.
• The document covers advanced topics such as higher-order derivatives, inverse function derivatives, and the chain rule for composite functions.
