r1111 Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 There is derivation by first principles in my textbook but it also has a lot of supllementary material. I find first principles in an inefficient method and a waste of time to review. Do we need to know this tough? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrashmaster Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 My teacher said that it would be on the IB exams. I haven't seen it in any test questions yet, though. I believe she said it would be something like, "Show, using first principles, that the derivative of _____ is ______." And it would only be the first part of a multi-part question, with lots of 'hences' afterwards. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
