In this lesson you will learn how to calculate the derivative of different trigonometric functions. Professor Burger will teach you how to calculate the derivative of the most common trig functions (sine, cosine, and tangent). To arrive at the derivatives of cos, sin and tan, you will be walked through the derivation of these formulas given the definition of the derivative. The derivative of sin(x) = cos(x), the derivative of cos(x) is -sin(x), and the derivative of tan(x) is sec^2(x)

Taught by Professor Edward Burger, this lesson was selected from a broader, comprehensive course, Calculus. This course and others are available from Thinkwell, Inc.
