The derivative and calculations on finding derivative of simple algebraic functions or polynomial functions is given here.

Differential calculus or the concept of Derivative and Differential Coefficient was discovered by Isaac Newton (1642-1727) and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibnitz (1646-1716) in the process of solving two old problems one of finding slope of tangent drawn to a curve and another of finding instantaneous velocity of an object in non-uniform motion.
