Differentiation practicing materials?

AI Thread Summary
There is a need for practice materials specifically focused on differentiation for first-year physics students looking to improve their basic math skills. Users seek resources that provide numerous small expressions of varying difficulty, ideally with solutions included. The goal is to practice differentiation extensively, similar to mastering multiplication tables. Suggestions for online resources or printable materials are requested to facilitate this training. Accessing a variety of differentiation questions can significantly enhance understanding and proficiency in calculus.

Hello,
I`m studying 1st year physics and I would really like to improve my basic maths. The thing is I don`t want to sit and first make up a random expression and then calculate the derivative, I would like to be able to print out hundreds and hundreds of small expressions with varying difficulty (possibly with solutions) and train until I`m at least as good as in the multiplication table...
So any such sources for practice materials?

Thread 'Video on imaginary numbers and some queries'

Hi, I was watching the following video. I found some points confusing. Could you please help me to understand the gaps? Thanks, in advance! Question 1: Around 4:22, the video says the following. So for those mathematicians, negative numbers didn't exist. You could subtract, that is find the difference between two positive quantities, but you couldn't have a negative answer or negative coefficients. Mathematicians were so averse to negative numbers that there was no single quadratic...

Thread 'What Exactly is Dirac’s Delta Function? - Insight'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...

Thread 'Unit Circle Double Angle Derivations'

Here I made a terrible mistake of assuming this to be an equilateral triangle and set 2sinx=1 => x=pi/6. Although this did derive the double angle formulas it also led into a terrible mess trying to find all the combinations of sides. I must have been tired and just assumed 6x=180 and 2sinx=1. By that time, I was so mindset that I nearly scolded a person for even saying 90-x. I wonder if this is a case of biased observation that seeks to dis credit me like Jesus of Nazareth since in reality...
