+## Differentiating $x=f(y)$
+
+Find $dx \over dy$. Then $dx \over dy = {1 \over {dy \over dx}} \therefore {dy \over dx} = {1 \over {dx \over dy}}$.

+### Maxima and minima
+
+- if $f^\prime (a) = 0$ and $f^{\prime\prime}(a) > 0$, then point $(a, f(a))$ is a local min (curve is concave up)
+
+- if $f^\prime (a) = 0$ and $f^{\prime\prime} (a) < 0$, then point $(a, f(a))$ is local max (curve is concave down)
+- if $f^{\prime\prime}(a) = 0$, then point $(a, f(a))$ is a point of inflection
+- - if also $f^\prime(a)=0$, then it is a stationary point of inflection
+
+*Point of inflection* - point of maximum gradient (either +ve or -ve)

+## Applications of antidifferentiation
+
+- $x$-intercepts of $y=f(x)$ identify $x$-coordinates of stationary points on $y=F(x)$
+- the nature of any stationary point of $y=F(x)$ is determined by the way the sign of the graph of $y=f(x)$ changes about its $x$-intercepts
+- if $f(x)$ is a polynomial of degree $n$, then $F(x)$ has degree $n+1$
+
+To find stationary points of a function, substitute $x$ value of given point into derivative. Solve for ${dy \over dx}=0$. Integrate to find original function.
