    Why my professor couldn't explain this concept so concisely is a mystery to my, but thank you for creating Khan Academy. It has carried my math education in community college all the way up from pre-algebra to now Calculus 1. #Ioweyoumylife

    saisriraj p the global maximum is the highest point of the entire function. Every other turning point is referred to as local unless it’s the lowest/highest turning point.

    BY definition, tangents do not exist on corners or kinks. The derivative at those kinds of points are considered undefined.
