These are the Transum resources related to the statement: "Differentiate xⁿ, for rational values of n, and related constant multiples, sums and differences. Differentiate e^kx and a^kx, sin kx, cos kx, tan kx and related sums, differences and constant multiples. Understand and use the derivative of ln x".

• Calculus It is said that the word calculus comes from the Latin word for the small pebble used for counting and calculations. The two major branches, differentiation and integration, are studied by pupils only towards the end of their school days but does then form a major part of their studies. A course in calculus is a prerequisite for other, more advanced courses in mathematical analysis.
