In this video the concept of differentiability and derivative calculation is explained using the example of finding the derivative of x squared. The instructor walks through the step-by-step process of applying the definition of a derivative to find the first derivative, which is 2x. Additionally, the second derivative is calculated, introducing the idea of higher-order derivatives. The video aims to help students understand the concept and application of derivatives, encouraging them to practice and reinforce their understanding by working through exercises on their own.
