Harvey Mudd College: First Derivative Maxima and Minima

This site from the Harvey Mudd College contains information on vector analysis. The information is very informative, and is mostly wrapped up in formulas and graphs. Definitely factual, a good site to check out.

Explanations and examples of parametric equations--in which a curve is traced out over time, sometimes doubling back on itself or crossing itself.

A review of the important concepts dealing with functions and transformations of functions. Java plug-in is required for the exploration feature.

Students learn about applications of derivatives. Topics include maxima and minima. The tutorial explores the calculus concepts through notes and examples. A chapter quiz, review exercises, and chapter summary are included.

A good worksheet for students to practice their first derivative skills. Allows you to check your answers by clicking the "solution" box.

An excellent tutorial explaining concavity and the second derivative test, including a labeled diagram, examples, and links to a quiz.

Elementary Solution Methods for First-Order ODEs: Contains a large amount of information regarding first order differential equations, including definitions, examples, and basic properties.

This MathWorld site shows how to find extrema using the first derivative test.

This site has tutorials on pre calculus and calculus. The integration tutorial is under the name antiderivative

Proves that the cos and sin functions form an orthogonal set, as it applies to Fourier series.
