Calc 1: Differential Calculus

Lecture 18: Implicit Differentiation

---

This video is all about implicit differentiation. This method, which is essentially a reformulation of the chain rule, allows us to compute derivatives when we don't even have an explicit formula!

There is a related video from the 3Blue1Brown "Essence of calculus" series: Essence of calculus, chapter 6: Implicit differentiation, what's going on here? AS usual, I strongly recommend that you watch 3Blue1Brown's "Essence of calculus" videos.
