Understanding Differentiation Part 1: The Slope of a Tangent Line

The first operation in calculus that we have to understand is differentiation. So what is it, exactly? Well there are a couple of ways of looking at it. The first one involves finding the equation of a tangent line for some point on a curve. We can't do this with algebra, because for that we would need two points on the line, and we only have one. Enter calculus!
