For a curve where y = f(x) the gradient of the curve is the derivative of this equation dy/dx. Stationary points of a curve occur when the gradient of the curve is zero. Hence find the expression for dy/d...

Finding the gradient or area underneath a graph

To solve this question we need to understand the process of implicit differentiation, which is a case of using the chain rule. If you remember the chain rule states that for y=f(g(x)), we have y'=f'(g(x))...

Its called Euler's number but it can be said to be credited also to Bernoulli.

Probability can be highly intuitive yet at times completely nonsensical. Famous mathematicians have fallen victim to the idea that everything in probability can be done without rigorous calculation and th...
