Tangents and Normals
This unit explains how differentiation can be used to calculate the equations of the tangent and normal to a curve.
The tangent is a straight line which just touches the curve at a given point. The normal is a straight line which is
perpendicular to the tangent. (Mathtutor Video Tutorial)
