Move the point T along the graph of y=sin(x) by moving the slider. The slope function (derivative) is then traced out in blue. Can you identify the graph of the derivative? This is a Java Applet ...

As the name implies, the derivimeter finds the derivative of a function. To do that, you have to plot the function on a piece of paper that the meter can measure.

Gradient descent algorithms take the loss function and use partial derivatives to determine what each variable (weights and biases) in the network contributed to the loss value.
