Hey mathy people
What do you consider the key facts and applications that should appear in a short introduction to differential calculus?

How short? Are you talking elevator pitch?
I'd probably start with what a derivative is, and what an integral is, and what kinds of applications there are. The actual calculations can all be looked up or done by computer, so that's hardly important any more.

Um, 3 minutes in musical form, so not quite elevator pitch. What applications can you think of specifically on the derivative side of the fence?
