Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming ...

We can calculate the gradient of a tangent to a curve by differentiating. In order to find the equation of a tangent, we: Differentiate the equation of the curve Substitute the \(x\) value into the ...

As the tangent is a straight line, the equation of the tangent will be of the form \(y = mx + c\). We can use perpendicular gradients to find the value of \(m\), then use the coordinates of P to find ...

To find the tangent line to a curve at a point P we first pick another point on the curve a little bit away from P. Call this point Q. Do this below by clicking "Another Point". Then connect these two ...
