Single-variable calculus from first principles
A function is differentiable at a point if it has a single, well-defined slope there: one tangent line, no ambiguity. Most smooth curves are differentiable everywhere. But some functions, while perfectly continuous, have a spot where the slope simply can't be pinned down. Understanding where derivatives fail is as important as computing them.
