In this pencast continue the work of a previous pencast by providing a few examples of using the chain rule.

This pencast dealt with concepts that are not unfamiliar, but ones that I have not used or dealt with for a very long time and I still found the direction and explanation concise and easy to follow. If anyone is worried about taking the derivative of either e or a trigonometric function (or both at the same time), this is a very good pencast to pay attention to.
I really liked this pencast because it helped me brush up on a subject I am starting to forget about. Section 5.6 in our book dealt with the chain rule with respect to integrals, so this refresher actually helped me make more sense of what I am doing now. I have a better idea of the chain rule now.
