Chapter 2 – Derivatives

This chapter begins your epic quest through differential calculus!  You will start with the concept and limit definition of the derivative before learning about differentiability and sketching graphs of the derivative of f(x).  From there, it is time to shine a light on differentiation rules so you can then tackle position, velocity, and acceleration – all very cool!  Then, it is off to master the Product, Quotient, and Chain Rules and then on to implicit differentiation.  The chapter rounds out with a rockin’ study of related rates and a host of Advanced Calculus AB and BC free response and multiple choice practice questions featuring all you learned about the derivative.  Time to dive in and get your blind blown by the beauty of the derivative!!!

  • Mr. Groden came to our family's rescue not once...but twice. Both kids struggled in pre calc and we were fortunate to be put in touch with Mr. Groden. First Mr. Groden worked with my son in parallel pre calc and just recently he has helped my daughter in honors pre calc. Mr. Groden is able to really connect with his clients and explain math concepts in a way that my kids were able to understand. They both said "it clicked" and that's exactly what I wanted to hear. He took them from struggling to confident, with both kids ending out the course successfully (well...my daughter is nearing the end;).

    My son was struggling in Calculus. He lost all confidence and felt there was no way he could pass his class. With Matt's help my son started understanding his work and gained confidence. Matt made learning exciting and fun. We owe so much to Matt's amazing ability to do whatever it takes to help his students. There is no one better than Matt!

  • Mr. Groden really helped me learn the subject of geometry very well. He related certain topics to the interest of the student which helped a lot. The pointers he gave for study habits were definitely very helpful and I would recommend Mr. Groden to anybody.

    Because he was in this class, my son spent more time doing SAT practice tests this summer than he otherwise would have. I didn't have to "nag" him to do practice tests...so, I appreciate that! He ended up knowing alot of the kids in the class, so he enjoyed it. It was also nice to do this in the summer when his schedule was less-busy. The teachers are high energy, well-respected and admired by the kids.

  • Matt - is an amazing teacher - his method of communication in order to ensure a complete understanding of the concepts was clearly reflected in my son's test scores once he started working with Matt - it was instantaneous. We were blessed to get terrific recommendations for Matt and he jumped in and my son loved working with Matt. I would recommend him to anyone and hope to continue to work with him remotely for college calc.

    Mr. Groden's excitement for math is contagious, and his commitment to inspiring each and every one of us to succeed is incredible. It was an absolute privilege to learn from him and call him my teacher.

  • Matt Groden is a truly innovative Math Teacher. He makes the word of mathematics real, exciting, and meaningful. When a student becomes excited about mathematics, it makes learning almost second nature. I expect nothing but good things to come from the Groden Math Academy. His students will be the fortunate ones.

    positive review  If you are looking for an SAT prep class, look no further. My son took Matt's course this past summer and was able to increase his score 100 points after taking the classes. Thank you, Matt for your help!

  • When multiple people from all different parts of your life compliment a teacher you have to think--how can this be? Is he for real? Is he really THAT good? So I was a little skeptical. NOT ANYMORE! Mr. Groden is the REAL DEAL! He truly loves teaching and he loves kids but most of all he loves to see kids succeed. And that's what he does. He makes kids perform better and reach their full potential. I highly recommend Matt's courses. My son just finished his SAT class and thoroughly enjoyed it (yes, he enjoyed a class---over the summer!) So what are you waiting for?? Sign your student up with Matt ASAP! Do not pass GO and do not COLLECT $200! This is real life people and Matt is the real deal!

    Thanks to Matt and Anthony for a comprehensive and enjoyable SAT Prep program for our daughter. We'll be back with our younger daughter when the time comes!

  • My daughter was fortunate to have Mr. Groden for both AP Calc AB and BC and she rocked both classes and the AP exam. Now a college junior she's already sailed though Calc 4 and we attribute her success to the foundation she received from Mr. Groden. He loves teaching and motivating his students and that enthusiasm radiates through everything he does.

    Matt Groden was a fantastic SAT tutor for my boys. They were very reluctant to have help, but he was able to immediately win them over because of both his knowledge and confidence. The test-taking skills they learned from him definitely helped them approach the test calmly and with confidence, and their scores reflected that. I would absolutely recommend Matt to help your child with math or SAT prep. He clearly loves teaching math and knows how to do so!

  • Matt is incredible at translating the difficult to understand into easy to learn concepts. He helped our son who was struggling with calculus to attain good grades. We can't recommend him highly enough !

    Both of our sons were extremely fortunate to have Mr. Groden for AP Calculus. He is enthusiastic, clear and an all-around outstanding teacher. He motivates his students and consistently shows great interest in their well being, both in and out of the classroom. Both our sons were extremely well prepared for the AP exam. Thank you!

  • Seriously a hero. I was struggling to pass the Praxis Core math section and he was great and fast with setting up a good time to meet and really helped me nail concepts that I needed. I highly recommend meeting with Matt if you feel yourself struggling in any area of math! Thank you again!

  • Matt has helped my son immensely in preparing both for the SATs and the AP Calculus BC exam. He has a way of explaining and teaching math that kept my son excited and energized to learn more. My son did extremely well on his SATs and was strong in Calculus, all thanks to Matt and his care for his students. If you are need for math help for your child, look no further!

    We found Mr. Groden on a community Facebook page and it was a wonderful experience for my son. He is extremely patient and very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend him to any student looking for help.

  • Mr. Groden was definitely the best tutor I've ever had. He makes learning easy and enjoyable and he never makes you feel dumb for asking questions. He's an amazing person and an even more amazing tutor. I would definitely recommend him for anyone struggling with math.

    My son thoroughly enjoyed taking Matt’s summer enrichment pre-calc class. He is a positive upbeat teacher who makes math fun! I would encourage any parent interested in keeping their child engaged in learning to register! He provided my child with renewed excitement in a subject for which he was losing enthusiasm. He had an amazing experience!
