Chapter 5 Tutorial Videos

Video tutorial relating to 5.4 - Chain rule

All the problems and solutions of regular differentiation need to be reconsidered when we start looking at functions of several variables. This includes the ‘Chain rule’ which still applies in this new setting but has some interesting subtleties.

Video tutorial relating to 5.5 - Partial Differentiation

This video tutorial looks at the theory and technique behind differentiation of functions which have several variables. A few examples to see partial differentiation in practice are considered.

Video tutorial relating to 5.6 - Optimisation

In this video tutorial the theory of partial differentiation is used to show how we optimise functions when they are of several variables. The method of classifying stationary points in this general setting is explained.

Video tutorial - Learning activity 5.6

This video tutorial offers a work through of learning activity 5.6 on page 82 of the 2006 version of the subject guide, page 87 of the previous version. All the techniques for functions of several variables are applied.

Video tutorial relating to 5.8 - Constrained Optimisation

As we are now considering functions of several variables simply looking at standard optimisation is not enough. In this video we look at Lagrange’s method for solving constrained optimisation which utilises partial differentiation.

Calculus for Management Video Tutorials

They use the following text: Calculus for Business, Economics, Life Sciences, and Social Sciences, Tenth Edition, by Barnett, Ziegler, and Byleen. Unlike Thomas & Binmore, it's more geared towards business calculus:

For those of you that's using the Thomas Calculus Book

Hey guys, for those of you that are using the Thomas Calculus Book as an alternative to Binmore's Calculus, there's an accompanying video series available (Real Player streaming only, that sucks, but...) it's cool
