SM3: Integrals and

Special Functions

By the end of this week, you should have worked through:

Goals

Find the derivative of trigonometric functions (sin, cos and tan)

Use chain rule, product and quotient rule proficiently on special functions

Theoretical Components
Maths B Chapter 5 Periodic functions
Revise radians and the unit circle
Maths B Chapter 6 The calculus of periodic
functions.

6A The derivatives of sin x and cos x.

If f(x) = sin (x) then f(x) = cos (x).
If f (x) = cos (x) then f(x) = -sin (x).
6B Further differentiation
Using the product rule.
6C Applications of differentiation
