Gradient and Expression Problems

The video tutorial covers the concept of gradient calculation, starting with an introduction and apology for previous mistakes. It recaps the methodology for calculating gradients and then moves on to solve four exam-standard questions, each increasing in complexity. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of understanding algebra and gradient concepts, and concludes with a preview of the next lesson on equations of a straight line.
