Full Transcript

A directional derivative gives the slope in any particular direction, similar to partial derivatives which give the slope just in the x or y directions. We formally define directional derivatives by modifying the familiar limit definition of the derivative for when you move along some vector in the input space. Then we see a very nice feature that we can use the gradient vector grad(f) to make computing directional derivatives easy. If you have the gradient, you can get the directional derivative in the u direction with one easy dot product. ►Full Multivariable Calculus Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHXZ9OQGMqxc_CvEy7xBKRQr6I214QJcd ♡♡♡SUPPORT THE CHANNEL♡♡♡ ►Support on PATREON: https://patreon.com/DrTrefor ►MATH BOOKS I LOVE (affiliate link): https://www.amazon.com/shop/treforbazett ►CURIOSITY BOX: https://www.CuriosityBox.com/DrTrefor use CODE drtrefor for 25% off awesome STEM merch boxes COURSE PLAYLISTS: ►DISCRETE MATH: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHXZ9OQGMqxersk8fUxiUMSIx0DBqsKZS ►LINEAR ALGEBRA: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHXZ9OQGMqxfUl0tcqPNTJsb7R6BqSLo6 ►CALCULUS I: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHXZ9OQGMqxfT9RMcReZ4WcoVILP4k6-m ►CALCULUS II: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHXZ9OQGMqxc4ySKTIW19TLrT91Ik9M4n ►MULTIVARIABLE CALCULUS (Calc III): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHXZ9OQGMqxc_CvEy7xBKRQr6I214QJcd ►VECTOR CALCULUS (Calc IV): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHXZ9OQGMqxfW0GMqeUE1bLKaYor6kbHa ►DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHXZ9OQGMqxde-SlgmWlCmNHroIWtujBw ►LAPLACE TRANSFORM: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHXZ9OQGMqxcJXnLr08cyNaup4RDsbAl1 ►GAME THEORY: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHXZ9OQGMqxdzD8KpTHz6_gsw9pPxRFlX OTHER PLAYLISTS: ►Cool Math Series: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHXZ9OQGMqxelE_9RzwJ-cqfUtaFBpiho ►Learning Math Series: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPH2lqis3D0&list=PLHXZ9OQGMqxfSkRtlL5KPq6JqMNTh_MBw ►LaTeX: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HvRvBjBAvg&list=PLHXZ9OQGMqxcWWkx2DMnQmj5os2X5ZR73&index=2&ab_channel=Dr.TreforBazett SOCIALS: ►X/Twitter: http://X.com/treforbazett ►TikTok: http://tiktok.com/@drtrefor ►Instagram (photography based): http://instagram.com/treforphotography
