The Fundamental Concept of Differentiation

This animation shows how differentiation captures instantaneous rate of change by shrinking a secant line into a tangent line on a curve. Starting with an average slope between two points, the gap between them narrows until it visually becomes the derivative at a single point. It helps students see the limit definition of a derivative geometrically, making it useful for anyone starting calculus or reviewing why derivatives represent slope.
