This book continues where "Math Shorts - Derivatives" left off. With the familiar combination of down-to-earth explanations, detailed examples and interesting applications, this book gently introduces the reader to advanced concepts involving derivatives such as local minima and maxima, logarithmic differentiation, tangent and normal lines as well as the powerful Taylor series. Check out the sample for the table of contents and a taste of the action. From the author of "Mathematical Shenanigans", "Great Formulas Explained" and the "Math Shorts" series.

Important note: if you don't have prior knowledge in calculus (in particular the differentiation of basic functions, the product rule, quotient rule and chain rule), I strongly recommend reading the free e-book "Math Shorts - Derivatives" before moving on to this second installment "Math Shorts - Derivatives II".
