Using Differentiation to Solve Practical Problems

The video tutorial covers solving practical mathematical problems using differentiation. It begins with an introduction to expressing one variable in terms of another and differentiating to find maximum or minimum values. The first problem involves finding the greatest product of two numbers given their sum. The second problem focuses on minimizing the surface area of a rectangular water tank with a square base and no lid, given a fixed volume. The tutorial demonstrates different approaches to solving these problems and emphasizes the importance of differentiation in optimization.
