What good are derivatives if you can’t do anything useful with them? Well, don’t worry! There are tons and tons of useful applications involving derivatives. This chapter illustrates how calculus can help solve a variety of practical problems, including finding maximum and minimum values of functions, approximating roots of equations, and finding the velocity and acceleration of an object, just to name a few. Without calculus, many of these problems would be very difficult indeed!
