Multidimensional Analysis and Geometry - Introduction to the Derivative in Higher Dimensions - Lecture 1
Offered By: University of Oxford via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the fundamental concepts of multidimensional analysis and geometry in this Oxford Mathematics 2nd Year Student Lecture. Delve into the introduction of derivatives in higher dimensions, expanding upon the classical definition of dy/dx for real-valued functions. Discover how the derivative concept evolves when considering functions of particles in 3-dimensional space, where the traditional scalar approach falls short. Gain crucial insights into viewing the derivative as a linear map that provides the best linear approximation to a function near a given point. Learn how this rigorous redefinition allows for the extension of familiar single-variable derivative properties to higher-dimensional scenarios. Enhance your understanding of advanced mathematical concepts through this comprehensive 53-minute lecture, delivered by Kevin McGerty at the University of Oxford.
